Description
Very Rare Noe-35 Pine Tree Threepence
Among Finest Known, AU50
1652 3PENCE Pine Tree Threepence AU50 PCGS. Crosby 1-A2, Noe-35,
W-635, High R.6. 17.2 grains. The scarcest of the Pine Tree
threepence, this variety has several interesting recuttings and
mispunchings, including the D in NEWENGLAND reversed, the A in
ENGLAND shows evidence of a previously punched A, and the 5 in the
date is poorly formed. This variety was absent from the Picker and
Stearns collections, as well as MHS, and the Noe plate coin shows
coarse scratches above the date. Similar to the Ford specimen, the
obverse is misaligned toward 12 o'clock, while the reverse is well
centered. Deeply toned, the details are well defined throughout.
This piece is undoubtedly one of the finest examples (perhaps
the finest example) of this variety. Listed on page 37 of
the 2011 Guide Book.Ex: Wesley Van Olden Collection of Colonial Coinage (Heritage, 9/2003), lot 5008, which realized $4,945.
