Description
1652 Pine Tree Threepence. Noe-34, Salmon 1-A, W-630. Rarity-4. Pellets at Trunk. AU-53 (PCGS).
17.3 grains. Typically off center to 12 o'clock on the obverse for a Noe-34 threepence, the top of the tree is just off the flan. The planchet is a bit ragged in this area, although other areas around the edge are smoother and better composed. The tree and flanking dots are fully appreciable despite the aforementioned centering, inner border mostly present, peripheral legend legible only for THVSETS with outer border framing most of these letters. The reverse is off center to 11 o'clock, less so than the obverse, legend fully legible although the tops of the letters D NEW are off the flan. The strike is a bit soft at lower right reverse, but the inner border, date and denomination are bold. Deep, rich iron-olive toning speaks volumes about this coin's originality. Smooth in hand with much to recommend it to high grade type collectors as well as series specialists.
PCGS# 914823. NGC ID: 2ARP.
