1652 Oak Tree Sixpence. Noe-22, Salmon 2b-B. W-400. Rarity-5. IN on Obverse. VG Details--Damage (PCGS).30.26 grains. This is a satisfying and elusive specimen, toned in varying shades of tan, pewter-gray, and silver. A semicircle of darker patina at the top of the obverse harbors evidence of an old impact which has deformed the metal below the first T in MASATHVSETS. The natural waviness to the planchet leaves some areas more worn than others, and the letters MA and HV are the only distinct features on the front of the coin. The reverse shows considerable detail, leaving just the denomination and a few characters at the lower border indistinct. A rare variety that has been absent in some well considered cabinets, including Garrett and Hawn.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
