1723 Rosa Americana Penny. Martin 2.30-Eb.10, W-1278. Rarity-4. AU Details--Altered Surfaces (PCGS).
123.9 grains. Rich and deep olive-charcoal in color on both sides. Surfaces appear smooth and hard to the naked eye, show some light pitting in places under magnification. Fields somewhat bright and reflective. Well centered and reasonably well struck on a good sized planchet. Far, far better than usually seen for the type, and also superior for the assigned grade, this piece is worthy of strong bids.
PCGS# 905685. NGC ID: 2ASR.
