Undated [1722] Pattern Trial Twopence on a Penny Planchet. Motto in field. Br.84, Taxay C59. Very Fine. Bath metal. 141.7 gns. 29.8 mm. From the same pattern dies as the last but weakly struck from failed dies on a broad, thin planchet of Rosa Americana penny weight. Uncertain composition, the color suggestive of copper like Norweb's and Lauder's. Extremely rare: the cataloguer knows of just five of these including: this; Norweb:2392 (Very Fine); Lauder:135 (Good); British Museum; Nelson plate II, 1. The present specimen is neither the Breen nor the Nelson plate coin. Struck out of collar, edge not trimmed at the mint. This and the Norweb specimen are closely tied in terms of condition.
Said ex Philip Nelson Collection on December 11, 1913; F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
