C- Caen Mint - 1739-C Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 56. Rarity-5. Choice Extremely Fine, the VLACK PLATE COIN for the Caen mint issues, the only full coin illustrated for this mint. Bold legends, all the letters sharp, as are the date and mintmark. The design detail is strong save for the leftmost part of the bottom curve of the obverse design. Struck from late states of both dies, the obverse with a large diebreak through the date, the reverse with one connecting the bottom of the X of REX to the L of LUD. This example appeared as Lot 5058 of the sale of Vlack’s collection, where it was undergraded at Choice VF but noted as being a “nice example for the type with good pearl and pale rose color.” Accompanied by Vlack’s original typed envelope and the lot ticket from this auction. Another rare opportunity for the collector to obtain a choice piece that was a plate coin in the major reference book.
