<B>1723 2PENCE Rosa Americana Twopence MS64 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Breen-92. Stop after REX, no stop after date. A satiny and sharply struck near-Gem with consistent medium brown toning. The fields and devices are refreshingly unabraded. The single finest PCGS-certified example. NGC has yet to certify any above MS62 (6/07). 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. Listed on page 41 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
