PCGS VF-20.  Ex - Early American History Auctions, Inc.'s Mail Bid Sale, December 9, 2000, Lot 831, where it was described as follows: "1723/2 Rosa Americana Halfpenny, Uncrowned Rose on Reverse, Bath Metal, PCGS graded VF-20.  Breen 136, there called "Rare." This example has even wear on a pleasing, problem-free planchet. Only three 1723 Rosa Halfpennies have been graded so far by PCGS, this being the highest graded of the three! The GUIDEBOOK treats this rare coin quite favorably, leaving it unpriced in EF and better conditions (further confirmation of this coin's rarity in high grade). This is an excellent opportunity to add this important rarity to your collection." - Early American History Auctions, Inc.'s June 9, 2001 Mail Bid Sale, Lot 1222
