Lot 637
1662 Massachusetts Oak Tree Twopence with Small 2 Noe-31 R6+ PCGS graded VF35. Frosty medium grayish steel with lighter silvery gray on the devices. The toning contrast accents the designs and adds the eye appeal. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are three microscopic pinpricks at the bottom of the second S in MASATHVSETS. The obverse (tree side) is misaligned to the bottom (as usual for this variety) while the reverse is nearly centered on the planchet. The tiny Oak Tree, date, and denomination are all complete and clear, and the legends that made it onto the planchet are strong. A nice example of this very rare variety. Listed on page 40 in the "Redbook." Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
