Found Rosa Americana Coin 1720's

[Jski357]

Hi
I want to thank the people that post on this forum, I have learned a lot & enjoy
looking at the pictures & videos that you post.

This year I bought an Etrac & I'm using STOCK/FACTORY settings, I need to learn
about the Bells & WHISTLES of the unit.

I have found a lot of clad some silver & my CROWNING PIECE a
Rosa Americana Coin 1720's. I don't know much about this piece
& I am NOT going to attempt to clean it. If you have any info on this coin &
how to clean it, I would appreciate it.

Joe

Nice old copper find - they do get destroyed though...it's a real shame..
Are you sure it's a Rosa? The picture doesn't look like what I'm seeing in my coin guide...but I'm no expert.

I found a 1722 unCrowned Rosa American April 14, 2009...

Yeah yours looks different from what I'm seeing in the red book...

Here is a link with pictures of the crowned and uncrowned versions...
