1723 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.25-Ea.5, W-1278. Rarity-5. AU-50 (PCGS).
141.6 grains. An appealing coin with attractive, original surfaces. Predominantly golden-olive on the obverse, the reverse mostly a darker gray-brown with splashes of brassy-gold. A few minor marks and light planchet roughness but the eye appeal remains well above average for the type. Bold detail that is only lightly worn. A nice example of the date or die group, the Ea reverse subgroup seen here is characterized by a broad 3 in the date.
PCGS# 905680.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Mike Wierzba and Gregory Field, March 2015.
