1652 6PENCE Oak Tree Sixpence, IN on Obverse, Noe-21.5, W-400, Salmon 2a-B, R.6 -- Obverse Scratched -- NGC Details. XF. 32.7 grains. Die alignment: 330˚. A well-centered example of this interesting die variety, in which a weak first S in MASATHVSETS was recut to make it more distinct but was accidentally engraved backwards. The reverse is particularly pleasing to the eye, being problem-free and nearly perfectly centered. The oval appearance of the inner dotted borders encircling the tree and the date / denomination are an artifact of the rocker press used to strike the Oak Tree coinage. A few very old scrapes to the obverse need to be mentioned, but do little to affect the coin's overall appearance. Listed on page 41 of the 2018 Guide Book.
