Lot Description

1723 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.24-Eb.7, W-1278. Rarity-4. EF-40 (PCGS). A handsome and fully original example of the type that is sure to appeal to many collectors. Otherwise dominant golden-brown patina yields to blushes of lighter autumn-orange color at the lower left obverse border and around nearly half of the reverse periphery. Well centered in strike, we note bold to sharp detail throughout the design. Free of detracting marks with just a touch of microgranularity to the texture that is easily forgiven in an otherwise premium quality Rosa Americana coin at the EF grade level. PCGS# 125.
