Description
Incredibly Rare Rosa Americana Penny
GEORGIVS/VTILE DVLCI Variety, AU55
Finest of Two Known in Bath Medal
1722 PENNY Rosa Americana Penny, GEORGIVS AU55 PCGS.
Breen-110. The GEORGIVS/VTILE DVLCI type is extremely rare. Only
four examples are known, two in bath metal (Breen-110) and two in
copper (Breen-111). Remarkably, John J. Ford Jr. owned all four
pieces, which were auctioned in consecutive lots in Part IX of his
vast collection. The present piece is clearly sharper than the only
other known bath metal example, the former John L. Roper example,
which in a PCGS VF35 holder sold at auction in January 2007 for
$20,125. The medium brown and olive surfaces are essentially
unabraded, and only a hint of granularity is noted on the rose
petals and GRATIA. A fleeting opportunity for the dedicated Early
American collector.Ex: Stack's, 1/92, lot 38; John J. Ford, Jr. Collection (Stack's, 5/05), lot 101.
