Description
Deeply Toned 1652 Pine Tree Sixpence
AU55, Noe-33
1652 6PENCE Pine Tree Sixpence AU55 PCGS. Crosby 1-A, Noe-33,
R.3. 30.6 gn. These historic coins were among the first struck
in the English Americas. They were authorized by the Massachusetts
General Court in 1652 after wampum was repealed as legal tender and
the Crown ignored the colonists' needs for circulating coinage.
This is a splendidly detailed sixpence that has glossy olive and
almond-tan surfaces. The obverse is misaligned toward 12 o'clock,
diagnostic for Noe-33. This is a late state for Noe-33 with the
vertical break to the left of the 6 now plain. Somewhat wavy, as
made from a rocker press. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide
Book. Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (4/10).Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 22, Greysheet# 6)
