Undated (1722) Rosa Americana Twopence. Martin 2.1-B.1, W-1322. Rarity-3. Uncrowned Rose. Motto in Ribbon. AU Details—Environmental Damage (NGC).,Essentially Mint State, the brassy gold luster of the "tutanaigne" metal from which these are struck remains glowing in the protected areas around the lettering and in the crevices of the devices. The metal mixture used was often poor, leaving impurities near the surface of the rolled metal, which then corrode, as here, notably at King Georges cheek and behind his head. The surfaces are overall a lovely olive-brown, the reverse being especially beautiful. The reverse die must have been loose in the press, as there are 3 very closely overlapping strikes, while the obverse shows almost no vestige of multiple striking. A high quality survivor of this patent coinage that is much nicer in hand than the NGC grade might connote.,PCGS# 116. NGC ID: 2U3Z.,,
