- "1652" (1850s) Pine Tree Threepence. Wyatt Copy. Noe-M, Kenney-5, W-14060. Silver. AU-50 (PCGS). Lovely pewter gray and antique gold surfaces are attractively original. The definition is bold throughout, although the upper reverse border is flush to the tops of the letters NE in NEW. Overall smooth and sure to attract the attention of advanced Massachusetts silver enthusiasts. Examples of this type were made by or for Thomas Wyatt, who lived in Mercer Street in New York City, circa 1840 to 1860. Wyatt's copies were originally made in silver, as here, to the extent of a dozen pieces of each type, which were distributed as part of eight-piece sets (one example each of the NE shilling and sixpence, Oak Tree shilling and twopence, Pine Tree sixpence, threepence and one pence, and a Good Samaritan shilling). Additional silver pieces were struck for individual distribution; the copper impressions are of somewhat later origin after the dies were acquired by Edwin Bishop, also of New York City, who probably also struck some silver pieces. Has a TrueView image on the PCGS and CoinFacts websites. PCGS# 534626.
