 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Sixpence. N.33, Cr.1-A. R-3. 33.2 gns. Choice Extremely Fine. The Noe Plate Coin. A very lovely example of this popular variety. Both sides are toned in rich russet, pale gray and very delicate gold shades. The obverse off centering is typical for a Noe-33 with the peripheral legend a little off the top, complete at the bottom, the tree full with both pellets bold. The reverse is always much better centered on Noe-33 (as well as on Noe-33a) with the peripheral inscription bold and complete and full denomination and date along with inner beaded border. Described by a previous owner on his collector's ticket as ''Obverse not full on planchet as usual. Sharp. Very Fine. Unusual condition.''
Ex David Proskey on November 28, 1903; F.C.C. Boyd Collection.
