1652 Pine Tree Threepence. Noe-34, Salmon 1-A, W-630. Rarity-4. Pellets at Trunk. VF Details--Repaired (PCGS).
Typically off center to 12 o'clock on the obverse for a Noe-34 threepence, the top of the inner beaded circle flush with the edge. The planchet shows a few shallow straight clips in this area, although other areas around the edge are smoother. The tree and flanking dots are fully appreciable, inner border fully present despite the aforementioned centering issues, peripheral legend legible only for SATHVSETS with outer border framing or through most of these letters. The reverse is off center to 1 o'clock, less so than the obverse, legend fully legible although the tops of the letters NEW E are off the flan. The strike is soft at right reverse, N mostly illegible, digit 5 in the date obscured by planchet roughness. Light steel and pewter retoning and a curiously chrome-like texture help to explain the PCGS qualifier.
