Description

1722 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.9-C.4, W-1264. Rarity-7. UTILE DULCI. VF-30 (PCGS).

116.2 grains. An extremely rare die combination that pairs a late die state 2.9 obverse, normally seen with reverse C.3, with a late die state C.4 reverse, normally seen with obverse 2.13. Syd recorded just this one example in his book and we note no other attributed examples appearing at auction. This is a wholesome coin for the grade with glossy medium brown surfaces and just some light planchet flaws at the lower obverse and upper reverse borders. A noteworthy offering for die variety collectors.

PCGS# 905657.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) 75th Anniversary Sale, November 2010, lot 6372.
