1652 3PENCE Pine Tree Threepence, Pellets at Trunk, Noe-34, W-630, Salmon 1-A, R.4, XF45 NGC. 17.5 grains. Die alignment: 360?. The Noe-34 is invariably struck with the top of the obverse die off planchet -- even the Noe plate coin exhibits this trait. The reverse, while better centered, is somewhat crudely laid out, with NEWENGLAND appearing as one word followed by a too-wide break, and with the date appearing to be punctuated 16.52 by the central dot. This golden-hued example is better than most, with strong detail and an especially nice reverse (the weakness at EN being typical of the variety). A tiny planchet crack is present on the obverse to the right of the top of the tree. Listed on page 41 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Spink's (1962); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling, IN at Bottom, Noe-11, W-510, Salmon 9-Fi, R.6, VF30 NGC. 69.4 grains. Die alignment: 360?. A complex tree dominates the obverse of this Oak Tree variety, with a thick, textured trunk and distinct shrubs on either side, all of it set on top of a curved hill. This central device was entirely recut over the Noe-10 "Ghost Tree" obverse, at which time the legend was also strengthened. While the coin is a bit off-center, the positioning of MASATHVSETS and NEW ENGLAND is nicely emphasized. Rose highlights show through the brown-gray background color, attesting to the coin's originality. Listed on page 41 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: C.H. Stearns Collection (Mayflower, 12/1966), lot 42; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

1652 6PENCE Oak Tree Sixpence, IN on Obverse, Noe-21.5, W-400, Salmon 2a-B, R.6 -- Obverse Scratched -- NGC Details. XF. 32.7 grains. Die alignment: 330?. A well-centered example of this interesting die variety, in which a weak first S in MASATHVSETS was recut to make it more distinct but was accidentally engraved backwards. The reverse is particularly pleasing to the eye, being problem-free and nearly perfectly centered. The oval appearance of the inner dotted borders encircling the tree and the date / denomination are an artifact of the rocker press used to strike the Oak Tree coinage. A few very old scrapes to the obverse need to be mentioned, but do little to affect the coin's overall appearance. Listed on page 41 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

1652 3PENCE Oak Tree Threepence, No IN on Obverse, Noe-27.1, W-300, Salmon 5-Aii, R.7, XF40 NGC. 16.5 grains. Die alignment: 360?. Golden-brown toning emphasizes the light gray of the lettering and central devices on this small-denomination piece. The obverse's central tree is distinct, as is the clear and bold 1652 / III on the reverse. An uneven strike affects the peripheries, but leaves most of the legends legible. The mint at Boston had to husband its resources carefully, and they recut and reused old dies extensively. This can be seen in the legends on both sides, particularly in the first A and final S of MASATHVSETS and the EW of NEW. This is a rare die state. Listed on page 40 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: C.J. Dochkus (4/16/1958); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

1662 2PENCE Oak Tree Twopence, Large 2, Noe-32, W-240, Salmon 1-B, R.5, AU53 NGC. 12.4 grains. Die alignment: 330?. A well-centered and attractive example of this intriguing issue, which is usually encountered struck off-center. The tree is sharp and the legends distinct, having received a stable strike that is only a bit weak around 2 o'clock on the obverse and the corresponding area of the reverse. A uniform gray is underscored by pleasing gold toning in some of the protected areas, most noticeable in the legends. While the other denominations of the Massachusetts Willow, Oak, and Pine Tree silver series are all dated 1652, the Oak Tree twopence is unique not only for its value but because of its date. Issued in response to a need for smaller change, the coins were authorized on May 16, 1662 and ordered to be produced in large numbers: half the total value of the coinage minted that year was to be struck in twopence pieces. The Noe-32 variety is an early die state of the same recut reverse die used for Noe-33 and 34, with only a hint of the die breaks that distinguish the latter varieties. Listed on page 40 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eckfeldt; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
