Lot 7
Pine Tree Threepence 1652. PCGS graded AU-55. Pleasing gunmetal gray in color, with excellent surfaces throughout. One minor straight edge above the rosette to the M, otherwise the planchet is very round and choice. As to the strike, we note sharp details on all but the D of ENGLAND on the reverse. Further, substantial die lines and engraving slips are plainly visible on this specimen, and there is no trace of the rim break at AS. PCGS has graded only 5 this high, with a single coin graded higher of this issue. A splendid opportunity for the specialist to acquire a very scarce coin. PCGS has graded 5 this high, but importantly, only 3 are graded higher.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.
From the Paul Arthur Norris Collection.
