1733 (ca. 1861) Rosa Americana Twopence Struck Copy by Alfred S. Robinson. W-15160, Kenney-4. Brass. MS-65 (PCGS).

34.0 mm. Plain edge. A spectacular example of this classic 19th century fabrication, with deeply reflective fields and abundant luster over golden surfaces tinged with pale blue. The strike is fairly bold, just soft on the lower petals of the rose. Only minor specks are seen, aside from a spot on the rim below the bust truncation. The surface quality and eye appeal are gem. A trivial lamination is noted between the back of the head and G of D.G. A very satisfying and attractive example.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from the F.C.C. Boyd Estate; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 653.
