 1722 Rosa Americana Penny. GEORGIVS/VTILE DVLCI. Br.110, Crosby IV, 2 plate coin. Very Fine. Bath metal. 118.3 gns. Normal 26.9 mm. planchet. Lovely, rich olive brown color on both sides. Surfaces microgranular but not disturbingly so. Decent strike and perhaps deserving of a bit higher grade. Extremely rare: one of just four known of the type and the second of two known in Bath metal. The importance of this piece was missed the last time it was sold.
Ex Stack's sale of January 14, 1992, lot 38.
