로트 설명

1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree sixpence. Noe-33, Salmon 2-B, W-670. Rarity-3. AU-53 (PCGS). 34.8 grains. As choice as could be hoped for, as if conjured straight from a picky numismatist's imagination. Ideal deep antique gray surfaces are glossy and flawless, with some hints of lighter silver color around design elements where frost was last to fade. The obverse shows its typical northward shift, affecting the middle letters of MASATHVSETS above the tree, but the reverse is perfectly centered and all present design elements are perfectly bold. Just a great looking coin, free of issues and full of appeal. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from New England Rare Coin Galleries, privately, August 1976. PCGS Population (With Pellets variety only): 1; 2 finer (MS-62 finest). PCGS# 45367.
