1652 3PENCE Oak Tree Threepence VF35 NGC. Noe-24, W-270, Salmon 2-A, R.6. 17.0 grains. Only the word MASATHVSETS appears around the obverse; no IN is present on this variety. In addition, only the first S is backwards. A lovely Choice VF example, this coin exhibits an off-center strike on both sides, with the tree retaining bold detail. Although the level of definition is not as strong on the central reverse, the date is fully legible. Hues of silver, gray, and gold grace the surfaces. Ex: C.H. Stearns (Mayflower Coin Auctions, Inc., 12/1966), lot 70; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
