1662 2P Oak Tree MS (PCGS#17)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1662 Oak Tree Twopence. Noe-31, Salmon 1-A, W-240. Rarity-4. Small 2. VF-20 (PCGS). CAC. 13.0 grains. A remarkably appealing representative of this popular and scarce Massachusetts silver type at the middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale. The diminutive Oak Tree twopence is the only issue of this denomination in the series and also the only one to bear a non-1652 date. This solid VF example offers pleasing surfaces toned in deep, rich steel-gray. The strike is off center to the lower left on the obverse, typical of the issue, and a bit better centered on the reverse. The sharpest detail can be found along the upper-right obverse border and toward the lower reverse border. Central definition on both sides is softer, with only portions of the tree and date readily evident to the unaided eye. Provenance: From the Rancocas Creek Collection. Collector envelope with attribution notes included. PCGS# 17. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
