1652 Pine Tree Threepence AU55 PCGS. CAC. Noe-34, W-630, R.4. The Noe plate coin, per the Ford catalog, where it was conservatively assessed as "Very Fine." Both PCGS and CAC, however, concur on a much higher designation, which is supported by the considerable pewter-gray and rose-gray luster on each side. Characteristically off-center with the first three letters of MASATHVSETS off the flan, but a well struck coin for its time. A small scrape to the left of the denomination on the reverse is the most readily identifiable pedigree marker. Listed on page 9 of the 2026 Guide Book.
