1722 1/2P Rosa Americana Halfpenny, VTILE DVLCI Fine 15 Damaged Cleaned Uncertified. Similar to Breen-132, "Ex. rare." The obverse legend is GEORGIUS.DEI .GRATIA.REX. The reverse legend is ROSA AMERI:VIILE.DVLCI.1722. with no stop after ROSA and no evidence of a crossbar of a T following the first V. The reverse die is the same as Norweb:2396, with the straight die break (as made) near the L in VIILE, although a stop after ROSA and a T in VTILE is apparent on the Norweb specimen. Apparently, the present coin is a later die state. This example is struck slightly off center, although all legends are full, and has two-tone yellow-green and mahogany patina. There is a presumed attempted puncture above the head, and several tiny digs scattered across the obverse. Ex: Dr. Charles Ingle Collection (Bowers and Merena, 9/1986), lot 677, where it realized $275. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
