Description
1723 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.4-Ea.2, W-1278. Rarity-6. VG-8 (PCGS).
130.8 grains. Syd recorded just two examples of this die pair in his book, the present coin and the die trial offered earlier in this sale. He conservatively estimated the rarity at R-5 to allow for unattributed examples of this rather unassuming variety. We are aware of just one additional example attributed to this variety that has appeared in the decade plus since the book came out, the Craige coin, and we have accordingly raised the rarity to R-6. This is a fairly smooth mottled orange-brown and dark olive piece with fully readable legends and date.
PCGS# 905645.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from France, via American Heritage Minting, December 28, 1995.
