1723 2PENCE Rosa Americana Twopence, Martin 3.14-E.14,
W-1334, R.8, MS64 Brown PCGS. MS64 Brown PCGS. William
Wood purchased a coinage patent from King George I and struck a
number of issues for Ireland and the American colonies. These
included Rosa Americana halfpennies, pennies, and twopence, as well
as Hibernia farthings and halfpennies. Ireland largely rejected the
Wood coinage, and the patent was abandoned in 1725.When Sydney F. Martin compiled The Rosa Americana Coinage of William Wood that was published through the Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) in 2011, he included a table of varieties in known collections. However, he was unaware of any examples of this variety other than the Ford Collection coin that was cataloged as lot 147 in the May 2005 auction of that collection. A satiny and sharply struck near-Gem with consistent medium brown toning. The fields and devices are refreshingly unabraded. In addition to its rarity as a variety, this example is the sole finest of its type that PCGS has certified (2/26). Listed on page 13 of the 2026 Guide Book.
Ex: Lorin G. Parmelee (New York Coin and Stamp, 6/1890), lot 538; John G. Mills (S.H. & H. Chapman, 4/1904), lot 73; George H. Earle (Henry Chapman, 6/1912), lot 1977; F.C.C. Boyd Estate; John J.
