Pleasing Noe-36 Threepence Ex Ford 1652 Pine Tree Threepence. Noe-36, Salmon 2-B, W-640. Rarity-4. Without Pellets at Trunk. AU-55 (PCGS). 15.6 grains. Rich steel gray in the fields, design elements antique golden-gray, both sides with strong originality and a lovely circulated cameo appearance. Fairly well centered on the obverse, just a little off to the bottom with the tops of the letters HVSE running off the flan. Tree full, inner beaded border complete. The reverse is better centered with the peripheral legend complete, denomination and date at center and inner border strong. Though largely forgotten amidst greater attention and market demand paid to the larger shillings, the diminutive Massachusetts Bay Colony threepence are important and interesting as more than accessories to their more beloved brethren. For a lightly circulated piece, this is a particularly nice example of the Noe-36 Pine Tree that numbers among the nicest that we have seen or offered. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier ex F.C.C. Boyd; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XII, October 2005, lot 144; Heritage's Baltimore ANA Signature Auction of July-August 2008, lot 865. PCGS# 45366. NGC ID: 2ARR.
