1723 Rosa Americana Twopence. Martin 3.10-E.10, W-1334. Rarity-4. AU-53 (PCGS). 229.4 grains. Attractive, slightly frosty medium brown surfaces with generous splashes of brassy-gold. Interesting curved planchet flaw from 4 to 6 oclock on the obverse which was most likely created pre-strike at the planchet production stage as there is weakness at the corresponding area of the reverse where the flaw caused that side to not fully strike up. A pleasing quality coin with only tiny abrasions and trivial planchet porosity. PCGS# 905724. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from eBay, September 2008.
