A - Paris Mint - 1754/3-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 34b. Rarity-7. Extremely Fine. This is the Vlack PLATE COIN for the overdate, and appeared in the Stack’s January, 2008 sale of his collection as Lot 5343 (where it was called VF, but we think the coin fully worthy of the EF designation) and described as “good pale silver-gray color. Minor reverse softness.” An attractive specimen, the legends strong, the overdate prominent. The obverse shows most of the original silvering, the reverse fields a little less so, but still well over half, and with no real marks or damage from circulation. An extremely rare variety, none in the Ford sale; the only auction record we can locate is actually for this very coin, the Vlack collection piece and plate coin! Accompanied by the original lot ticket from the Vlack sale, as well as his distinct typed envelope.
