(1722) Rosa Americana 2 Pence Breen-88 (Motto on Ribbon) MS60. Attractive glossy chocolate brown with hints of underlying golden tan bleeding through thanks to the brass planchet. Sharply struck, apparently twice since all the devices show fine doubling. The only defect is a small spot of shallow golden tan crud under the C in AMERICANA. Listed on page 42 in the "Redbook." Weight 220.1 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
