Lot 2
1662 Massachusetts Oak Tree Twopence Small 2 Noe-29 Rarity-6+ PCGS graded VF35. Frosty bright silvery gray with slightly darker silvery gray toning in protected areas. The surfaces are a bit uneven but there does not appear to be any damage or other indications that would explain the wavy appearance. The obverse (tree side) is slightly misaligned to K-7 while the reverse is centered on the planchet (both normal for the variety). The 2 in the date is only partially visible thanks to a wave on the top of that digit, but everything else is clear. In fact there is very little actual wear on this piece, only the highpoints displaying any friction at all. A nice example of this tiny silver coin authorized for minting in 1662 by representatives of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Weight 10.03 grains. Listed on page 38 in the "Redbook." Estimated Value $1,500 - UP
