1723 Rosa Americana Twopence. Martin 3.5-E.5, W-1338. Rarity-4. AU Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).Sharply struck from a nicely centered and well executed strike, there is a lot of "coin" here for the assigned grade. Dark olive-charcoal patina throughout, the surfaces microscopically rough with scattered swirls of pinkish encrustation that explains the PCGS qualifier. Minor planchet flaw at 3 oclock on the obverse border. The largest denomination in William Woods Rosa Americana series, twopence were struck in London and shipped to the British North American plantations. This is an uncommonly well preserved example despite the stated qualifier, and it would do equally well in an advanced type set or specialized collection.
