1722 Rosa Americana Halfpenny. Martin 3.11-C.3, W-1222. Rarity-6. DEI GRATIA REX UTILE DULCI. AU-53 (PCGS). 70.1 grains. Well balanced and pleasing for this variety as the surfaces have minimal roughness--just a bit of dark olive patina in fact. Boldly struck on the curls, legend and central reverse flower, all about in fact. No rim problems or distracting scratches either. All in all, a splendid coin to represent this rare variety.
