1662 2P Oak Tree MS (PCGS#17)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1662 Oak Tree Twopence. Noe-30, Salmon 1-A, W-240. Rarity-4. Small 2. EF-45 (PCGS). 10.8 grains. A second pleasing high grade circulated example of this popular type variety of the Oak Tree twopence. Glints of russet blend with dominant sandy-gray patina. Minor planchet flaws at the lower right obverse and along the left reverse border are as made, the surfaces free of mentionable marks apart from a couple of light grazes at the letters NG in ENGLAND on the reverse. Typical centering for the variety, the obverse is drawn trivially to 7 o'clock, but the reverse is better centered. Both sides are soft along the left and right borders, respectively, although the detail is appreciably sharp in the centers and toward the left obverse and right reverse borders. Wisps of antique gold and pale lilac flash into view as the surfaces dip into a light, further enhancing the appeal of endearing Choice EF example. PCGS# 17.
