S- Reims Mint - 1739-S Billon Sous Marques. Vlack UNLISTED, will be known as Vlack 181e. High Rarity-7. Fine, some details slightly better. The legends full on either side, a few letters weaker but visible, the date and mintmark strong. On this previously unlisted variety the legend matches up to that on Vlack 181c, with a stop before and after ET on the reverse – but on this die the acorn different faces in the opposite direction (compare with the above coin, where the top of the acorn points to the right, as it does in the Vlack line drawing, whereas here the top faces to the left). Found after the publication of the Vlack work, this number given by Bob himself who saw the coin. There was no example in Vlack’s own collection, and none in the Ford sale or any other auction we are aware of; we know of two others in private collections, accounting for the rarity rating here.
