1723 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.3-Ea.1, W-1278. Rarity-4. VF-20 (PCGS).
A good-looking steel-brown piece with bold detail for the grade. Some light, scattered roughness is present, most notably on George's neck, but it all appears natural to the planchet and the overall appearance is fairly smooth and the surfaces rather glossy. Nicely centered, perhaps bluntly struck on the obverse portrait but with remarkably full detail on the reverse crowned rose motif.
PCGS# 905618.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Acquired June 2005.
