1733 (1860s) Pattern Rosa Americana Twopence. Robinson Copy. Kenney-4, W-15150. Copper. MS-65 RB (PCGS).A gorgeous Gem Mint State example. The otherwise warmly toned autumn-brown surfaces light up with pinkish-apricot and cobalt blue undertones at direct viewing angles. Prooflike in finish with an otherwise bold strike that comes up a bit short only in the centers. From a mintage of just 45 examples in this metallic composition, achieved using dies prepared by Joseph Merriam of Boston.
