1723 Rosa Americana Twopence. Martin 3.6-E.8, W-1334. Rarity-5. EF Details--Scratch (PCGS). 217.7 grains. Some old, toned over scratches in the obverse fields explain the details grade, but they are not overly significant in the grand scheme of the coin and easy to miss at most viewing angles. Otherwise a pleasing medium brown piece with hints of gold on the obverse. Crisply struck and well detailed. PCGS# 905717. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex American Heritage Minting, September 1997. Plated in the Martin reference "The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood," pp. 269, 307.
