Description du lot

244.2 grains. A handsome example of the largest base metal pre-Federal issue. Surfaces on both sides are light brown with hints of gold, an ideal shade for the Bath metal Rosa Americanas. The fields are somewhat matte-like, but even, with a small area of natural bubbling near 11 o'clock on the obverse and some granularity around some parts of the reverse design. Scattered small circulation marks are present, and a small area of naked patina on the chin appears to have been protected by a see-through lacquer or epoxy. This piece shows far fewer surface issues than many Rosa Americana twopences, and all the devices are sharp and well formed. It would make a very nice type coin to showcase the attractive Uncrowned Rose design.
