Description

1652 6PENCE Oak Tree Sixpence XF40 NGC. Crosby 1a-D, Noe-20, R.6. 31.8 grains. This richly detailed piece shows little actual wear, however, a roundish depression between the 2 and D and a small flattened area opposite on the other side at the A of MASATHUSTS. The wavy surfaces display mixed tones of silver on this specimen made before die recutting which resulted in Noe 21 and 22 (the later states are also rare). This is one of the varieties sometimes struck on cut down shillings, and traces of an undertype are present between 4 and 5 o'clock on the obverse. Listed on page 37 of the 2009 Guide Book.
