Lot 326
1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Sixpence Noe-33a R5 NGC graded VF25. Type with Pellets at Trunk. Slightly glossy medium gray and steel with slightly lighter gray toning on the devices. The surfaces are smooth and there are no planchet flaws. The only marks are a dent at the edge left of the I in IN causing a minor bulge at the opposing left top of the N in NEW and a tiny pinprick right of the tree trunk. The date, denomination, and Pine Tree are complete and clear. Rather well centered on the planchet (which differentiates this variety from Noe-33 which comes from the same die pair but was struck with the tree side badly misaligned). A decent example of this tough denomination. Weight listed as 31.5 grains on the NGC label. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP
