Lot 8
1652 Pine Tree Threepence. VF-20. This is the rarest of the Pine Tree threepences. Light silvery gray in color with traces of darker hues near the lettering and devices. Unevenly struck, as expected from the rocker dies. The reverse centering is a off towards 5 o'clock, but the erroneous backwards D is quite plain near the edge. There is a series of short cuts in the lower reverse and these seem to be the only post minting problem on this very rare and desirable specimen.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800.
This variety was missing from the Stearns and Picker sales.
