1662 Oak Tree Twopence, MS61
Small 2, Rare Noe 31.5 Subvariety
1662 2PENCE Oak Tree Twopence, Small 2, MS61 NGC. Noe 31.5,
Salmon 1-A, R.4. 11.9 gn. Die alignment: 345°. While the
original slate-gray toning and bold strike make this an attractive
choice for the collector looking for an example of the type, the
unusual subvariety makes it of significant interest to the
specialist collector as well. The Noe 31.5 was first published by
Eric P. Newman in The Secret of the Good Samaritan Shilling
(1959). A reverse die crack running across the crudely recut
numerals makes the date appear to read 1672. Michael Hodder had
only recorded four of these when he cataloged the 2002 Hain Family
sale (where he called it R.7), and this is substantially nicer than
the Very Fine example in the Kendall Collection. Census (for the
major variety): 2 in 61, 9 finer (11/17). Listed on page 40 of the
2018 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2ARD, Variety PCGS# 45355, Base PCGS# 17)
