<B>1723<PENNY> Rosa Americana Penny MS62 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Breen-121. The fields and portrait have acquired medium brown toning, while the legends and crowned rose retain luminous olive-yellow color. A meticulously struck and nearly unabraded example. The quality is exceptional, since the cheek and the rose center do not exhibit flatness, and only a trace of verdigris is present, on the tip of the bust. Breen-121 is the Large 3 subtype with a stop after Rex, but no stop after 1723. The Large 3 is readily confused with the Small 3; the Large 3 has an oversized lower loop and a short upper half, the Small 3 has a small lower loop and a tall upper half. Perhaps it would have been better (although it is too late now) to refer to them instead as the Broad 3 and the Tall 3.
