Description du lot

1723 Rosa Americana Twopence. Martin 3.5-E.5, W-1338. Rarity-4. AU-58 (NGC). Boldly toned olive-copper surfaces with a few swirls of lighter sandy-tan scattered about. The surfaces are satiny and tight with universally sharp definition further enhancing the coin's appeal. Scattered handling marks are easily overlooked; minor flan flaws at King's George's forehead and neck. The largest denomination in William Wood's Rosa Americana series, twopence were struck in London and shipped to the British North American plantations. This is an uncommonly well preserved example that would do equally well in an advanced type set or specialized collection. PCGS# 128.
