1723 Rosa Americana Twopence. Martin 3.7-E.9, W-1334. Rarity-4. MS-61 (PCGS). 213.4 grains. Excellent eye appeal for the MS-61 grade. A solid Uncirculated Rosa twopence with ideal brown and gold coloration and frosty luster across both sides. A handful of little abrasions and tiny planchet flaws can be found but none are worthy of individual note. Nicely struck from an advanced state of the dies. The peripheries are flowlined, especially on the reverse, and there are numerous spidery die cracks from the rim through DULCI to the rose. An attractive Mint State representative of the denomination with much to recommend it. PCGS# 905719. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex American Heritage Minting, October 1997. Plated in the Martin reference "The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood," pp. 270, 308.
