<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 831258, member: 23874&quot;]Pictured is a 1722 Rosa Americana Halfpenny that I acquired for a decent price. I haggled with the seller, and managed to get it at half his asking price. Presently it&#039;s the only Rosa Americana 1722 in my collection. All other Wood&#039;s specimens that I have consist of his various Hibernia coinage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe that this specimen is a Martin 2-B / Breen-133 / W-1218 based on its obverse and reverse die specs. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As you will see, the planchet is a bit irregular in shape, and did not superimpose evenly over the black background in the images that I prepared. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To illustrate various details, I have included shots with flash used and without flash used. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Aside from pitting, you will notice a pronounced scratch on the obverse of the specimen. (Which, unfortunately, is a bummer!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On a positive note I am very pleased that many details of the uncrowned rose remain intact and are not worn off.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and welcomed!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks, kindly</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>CheetahCats[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
