1652 Pine Tree Threepence. Noe-36, Salmon 2-B, W-640. Rarity-4. Without Pellets at Trunk. VG-8 (ANACS).1.03 grams. This dove gray example retains bolder detail on the reverse, on which side one can discern the date, denomination, and more than half of the peripheral letters. On the obverse, aside from faint remnants of a few of the peripheral letters, the only features discernible are a couple of the branches in the tree. A slightly ragged planchet clip at 1 oclock relative to the obverse is as made, and there are no significant marks or other blemishes. An acceptable "filler" for this early Colonial era type.
