Description

1722 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.20-C.5, W-1264. Rarity-6. UTILE DULCI. EF-40 (PCGS).

115.2 grains. An attractive and original piece, with wholesome brassy-brown surfaces and solid detail. Only trivial planchet roughness and a few minor marks, nothing out of line for the grade. Struck well with good centering and no areas of weakness. Generous hair detail and almost full delineation of the stamen confirms the EF grade. A small die flaw before George's mouth is one of the diagnostics that confirms the Martin 2.20 obverse which is known only in this combination.

PCGS# 905672.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Bill Murray, April 2002. Obverse plated in the Martin reference "The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood," p. 160.
