Description
1652 Pine Tree Threepence, MS64
Noe-36, Middle Die State
Perhaps the Finest Pine Tree Threepence
1652 Pine Tree Threepence, No Pellets at Trunk, Noe-36, W-640,
Salmon 2-B, R.4, MS64 NGC. 18.4 grains. A magnificent dove-gray
near-Gem. The boldly struck surfaces are devoid of marks or spots.
Mint clips affect the top of the HV, but all other letters are
complete, although NEW is tight against the edge. Nicer than any of
the four examples in the Ford (Part 12) auction. This is a middle
die state piece that shows horizontal die lines at the top of the
tree, but no obverse cud at 1:30. This piece that is slightly finer
than the late die state Eric P. Newman example (November 2014) is
also finer than any others that we have offered. The poorly
centered Sydney F. Martin coin (Stack's Bowers, 8/2023) is PCGS
graded MS63 and was called there the "probable finest known." We
are unaware of any others in famous past collections that trump
this Choice Mint State piece that is the finest existing Pine Tree
threepence in our opinion. For all varieties, PCGS (6/25) has
certified four Mint State Pine Tree threepence that grade MS63 (2),
MS62, and MS61. NGC (6/25) has examined eight Mint State Pine Tree
threepence that are graded MS64 (3), MS63 (3), and MS62 (2). Listed
on page 9 of the 2026 Guide Book.Ex: Richard Picker; Donald Groves Partrick/FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 5614.
