Historic AU55 1662 Oak Tree Twopence
Noe-29, W-240, Ex: Ford

1662 2PENCE Oak Tree Twopence AU55 PCGS. CAC. Noe-29, W-240, R.6. Weight 12.7 grains, per the listing in Ford XII, where this piece was described as "Extremely Fine." Clearly PCGS rated the coin slightly better, hardly a surprise considering the level of luster and detail remaining on the deep silver-gray surfaces, which also show elements of violet and green-gold. The reverse is well-centered, and while the obverse is off-center as usually seen, even the letters partly off the flan are easily readable. An important and eye-appealing coin. Listed on page 36 of the 2010 Guide Book. For the various Oak Tree twopence varieties, Population: 9 in 55, 10 finer (3/10).
Ex: F.C.C. Boyd; The John J. Ford, Jr. Collection; Ford XII (Stack's, 10/2005), lot 64.
From The Cedar Crest Collection.
