Description
1722 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 3.1-D.6, W-1272. Rarity-4. UTILE DULCI. AU-55 (PCGS).
A choice example of this scarce obverse die group, characterized by having no stop following REX. There are just two dies within the Martin 3 obverse group and two die pairs in total, the other being a 1723 dated pattern. Glossy olive-brown surfaces with khaki-gold in the protected areas. Slight roughness and microscopic planchet bubbling are noted in the fields, all as made and not of much detriment to the overall appearance. Little edge flaw over last A in GRATIA, no contact marks at all. With a great strike, pleasing color, and slightly lustrous surfaces, this is an appealing AU specimen.
PCGS# 905705.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex F.C.C. Boyd; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection Part IX, May 2005, lot 120. Plated in the Martin reference "The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood," pp. 185, 211.
