1722 1/2 P Rosa Americana, D.G. REX MS (PCGS#101)

The March 2013 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1722 Rosa Americana Halfpenny. Martin 2.1-B.1, W-1218. Rarity-4. D.G.REX ROSA AMERI. UTILE DULCI. MS-63 (PCGS). 52.5 grains. An exceptional example of the issue, this lustrous golden-olive specimen offers sharp devices and eye appeal that just won't quit. The surfaces are glossy and as hard as ever seen for an issue that typically has natural planchet problems. Indeed, this beauty is<em><strong> tied for finest of the variety certified by PCGS. </strong></em>While not a great rarity, the average grade of this variety is apt to be just VF or so with Mint State specimens nearly impossible to locate. Fortunately for today's collecting community, Ted Craige spotted this choice specimen 47 years ago and tucked it away in his collection for a new generation of collectors to enjoy -- and pursue. You will want to bid liberally for this coin, especially if a high-grade early American type set or Rosa Americana type set is in your future.
