A - Paris Mint - 1755-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 35a. Rarity-4. Very Fine, another example from the Bob Vlack collection, appearing as Lot 5346 in the sale of his collection, described there as “medium gray color, toning lines across the reverse.” The legends are full on either side, the individual letters strong save for those at the extreme left of either side, which are weaker but still visible. The surfaces are hard and a pleasing color. The 1755-A type is often encountered, but the vast majority of specimens for this date are actually contemporary counterfeits (Vlack 346-351, with the Vlack 350 variety the most commonly found); genuine examples of this date are actually quite scarce – of the four varieties that Vlack lists, this is the most available, the other three called Rarity-7. Accompanied by the original lot ticket from the Vlack sale, as well as his distinct typed envelope.
