Description

"1733" (1860s) Pattern Rosa Americana Twopence. Robinson Copy. Kenney-4, W-15180. Silver. Choice Mint State.

203.9 grains. A lovely example of this rare and impressive Robinson copy with an attractive, original patina of gunmetal gray highlighted by steel-blue and golden-tan iridescence. A single nick in the left reverse field is the only imperfection. One of just 10 examples of this token struck in silver. Dies by Joseph H. Merriam of Boston, Massachusetts. Rare and elusive in all grades. Alfred S. Robinson did business in Hartford, Connecticut, and was primarily a banker and exchange broker. He also bought and sold coins and, as here, issued tokens.

Ex New Netherlands Coin Company; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 649. Lot tag included.

Estimate: $1’500.00
