 1723 Rosa Americana Twopence. Stop after REX. No stop after 1723. Br.92. Choice Uncirculated. Bath metal. 182.5 gns. Thin flan. A lovely example and a great type coin. Both sides are a rich deep brown color in the fields while the peripheries still show some light brassy yellow gold color around the protected areas. The surfaces are speckled with a myriad of tiny pits all as made. The central devices are all very sharp. There is a full border of denticles around each side. This piece is far nicer than most seen.
Ex Waldo Newcomer, E.H.R. Green Collections, B.G. Johnson, F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
