1739-A. Paris Mint. Vlack 294
|
VF |
$200.00 |
Very Fine. Medium silver gray on both sides. Obverse flawed. Bob Vlack makes the date side the obverse in his catalogue whereas French collectors consider the side with the L side to be the proper obverse. The cataloguer will use Vlack's convention since it is the one familiar to American collectors. |
