A - Paris Mint - 1758-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack UNLISTED. Rarity-8. Very Fine, weak at the lower right reverse, with ET NAV lost there, the remainder of the legend full, the letters all sharp, as are the date and mintmark. This is an UNLISTED variety and has been given the designation of Vlack 39g; it features a stop SIT and NOM on the obverse, where the Vlack 39 type has no stop there (confirmed by the three examples of that variety in the Ford and Vlack auctions, none of which show a stop). The Vlack 42a variety for this date does have a stop after SIT – but that variety also has a stop between the heron and ET and is from the second semester, whereas this is clearly a first semester piece. None of this variety in Ford or Vlack, and we have records of just one other example, in a prominent private collection. A very rare opportunity for the specialist.
