Description
1662 Oak Tree Twopence, MS63
Large 2, Noe-34, W-240, Salmon 1-B
Finest Known for the Variety
1662 2PENCE Oak Tree Twopence, Large 2, MS63 NGC. Noe-34, W-240,
Salmon 1-B, R.5. 12.6 grains. The Oak Tree twopence is the only
denomination of its kind in the Massachusetts Colonial series. All
examples are struck from a single pair of dies that underwent
various alterations to the date over time. This piece,
corresponding to Crosby 1-A1, Noe-34, and Salmon 1-B is a late
state of the dies with a Large 2 recut from a previous Small 2 and
a horizontal break left of the 1 through the beads to the W. Two of
the finest examples of Noe-34 were sold in early 2015. We had the
pleasure of handling the Norweb-Partrick representative in MS61 as
part of our 2015 FUN Signature, while the Hain-Kendall coin in AU50
was sold by Stack's Bowers in March 2015. This MS63 representative
deserves to be considered among those esteemed examples. Indeed,
from a technical perspective it is finer. Although the obverse is
slightly off-center toward 6:30 on the somewhat elongated flan, all
the devices are clear and the strike is absolutely razor-sharp. The
reverse is flawlessly centered and better-defined than either the
Partrick or Kendall coins. Rich stone-gray patina with olive
accents adorns each impeccably preserved side. Listed on page 50 of
the 2019 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2ARE, Variety PCGS# 45356, Base PCGS# 17)
