1662 Oak Tree Twopence, Noe-34, AU53
Late Die State of Salmon 1-B

1662 Oak Tree Twopence, Large 2, Noe-34, W-240, Salmon 1-B, R.5, AU53 PCGS. Ex: Caldwell-Terranova-Weinberg. Die alignment about 350 degrees. Die states distinguish the variants of Salmon 1-B, cataloged as Noe-32, Noe-33, and Noe-34. Noe-32 is an early die state, Noe-33 is an intermediate state, and Noe-34 is a late die state. The three variants refer primarily to the die crack through the upper part of the date. This piece exhibits a die crack through the top of the date, continuing to the right serif of the W in NEW.

This lovely Oak Tree twopence exhibits nearly full luster on its light gray surfaces that show only slight wear on the highest design points. Both sides are excellent, although imperfectly centered, showing complete legends. Wisps of gold toning enhance the eye appeal of this splendid example. A small planchet split at the top of the obverse and reverse confirms the provenance of this diminutive example. Listed on page 8 of the 2026 Guide Book.
