(1722) 2PENCE Rosa Americana Twopence, Label MS61 Brown NGC. Martin 2.1-B.1, W-1322, R.3. The Young Head of George, facing right. This is the much more common With Ribbon variety. Noteworthy strike doubling is observed on most of the peripheral letters on this well-struck example. The dentils are crisply produced and most are entirely on the flan, save for some along the left side of the obverse. Considerable luster remnants are evident on the deep reddish-brown surfaces. Other than a small amount of porosity below IC in AMERICANA, the surfaces are smooth and free of post-strike limitations. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
