B – Rouen Mint - 1740/39-B Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 51a. Rarity-7. Nearly Extremely Fine, a sharply struck example, the legends full and the individual letters all strong; the date is also sharp and clearly shows the top of the original 3 and tail of the original 9 poking out from the numbers punched over them. Struck from late states of both dies, with several breaks through the peripheral legends on either side. About three-quarters of the original silvering still on either side, toned down to a darker hue, and with a large number of microscopic striations on either side that give the look of darker flecks, but they were there as struck. No real marks or damage from circulation, and a pleasing example of this very rare variety. None in Ford, the Vlack coin similar to this in strike, with a more even color.
