Description
1722 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.8-D.1, W-1268. Rarity-5. UTILE DULCI--Heavyweight Planchet--EF-40 (PCGS).
156.2 grains. Struck on a remarkably heavy and noticeably broad planchet. Pleasing, original olive-brown and green-gold surfaces are problem-free aside from some lightly rough patina over the R in GEORGIUS on the obverse over to a larger area of the corresponding reverse. Full EF sharpness and nicely struck. the larger than normal planchet gives this coin a satisfying appearance. One of Syd's earlier Rosa purchases that comes with his small square collector ticket, signed by him, a type and practice that he abandoned early on.
PCGS# 905649.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Coin Galleries') July 1995 Mail Bid Sale, lot 2. Plated in the Martin reference "The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood," pp. 148, 206.
