Depends on which variety - rarity, because right now all we know is the condition. Given they're dug they obviously have some issues, but if you have something that's on the rare side it would of course help the value. I dug a 1722 Twopence over 10 years ago, and it certainly does not look anything like those, but it's still one of my favorite coin finds.
 
Awesome digs SS. I've pulled a couple of Rosa's over the years, not nearly as nice as those though. Congrats on a great hunt!
 
Hi Silversurfer CONGRATS on one heck of a day. Those are AWESOME Rosa's and welcome to the Nova Constellatio Club !!!!! My Banner Vote is in :thumbsup:
 
thank you everyone for the banner vote. I really appreciate that. Everything in the video was found in one day and the coin that I wanted the ID help on was found today.
 
wow, crazy hunt right there!
 
Definitely looks like the 2nd one has been double struck. Quite interesting.
 
Wonderful finds you have and thanks for sharing those pictures.
 
I have discussed your coins with Dr Phil Mossman and he would love to ID the varieties for you along with any other questions you might have on the coins, he and Syd Martin are surveying the Rosa's and Syd has written THE book on Rosa Americanas....

Thanks
Don Hartman
