PCGS AU-53. Ex - Early American History Auctions, Inc.'s Mail Bid
Sale, December 9, 2000, Lot 832, where it was described as follows:
"1723 Rosa Americana Penny, PCGS graded AU-53. Breen
120, an extremely rare prototype design with 24 pellets in the center of
the rose on the reverse. This example is pleasing, with traces of faded
mint color in the recessed areas. The surfaces are smoother than usual
(but not glossy) and there are none of the usual pits or voids to
distract the collector. A small flaw is noted on the lower obverse, with
ripples of metal emanating away from it. We're curious to see how much
of a premium this rare variety attracts." |
