1723 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.22-Eb.6, W-1278. Rarity-5. VF-30 (PCGS).
142.2 grains. Dark chocolate-brown with subtle reddish-tan undertones. Some light roughness is seen in a few places and there are some natural planchet bubbles, most notably under GRA. Glossy and reasonably smooth in general, certainly a decent example for the grade. Nicely centered and evenly struck.
PCGS# 905673.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Bob Slobins, via Edelman's, December 2008. Reverse plated in the Martin reference "The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood," p. 162.
