1723/2 Rosa Americana Halfpenny. Martin 3.1-D.1, W-1226. Rarity-6. Uncrowned Rose. Fine-12 Environmental Damage.，71.7 grains. This piece retains bold outline definition to all major devices save for those over the lower right obverse and, to a greater extent, the opposing area on the reverse. The strike is off center toward the borders in those areas, the lack of denticulation exposing the devices to heavier wear than seen elsewhere. All four digits in the date are discernible, the 23 sharpest and the 2 underdigit readily evident with the aid of a loupe. Dark brown surfaces are rough in texture with scattered pitting to explain our stated qualifier. A scarce <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the 1723 Rosa Americana halfpenny with examples much more elusive than those of the identically dated Crowned Rose type.，PCGS# 122.，，Collector envelope included.
