(Circa-1850) Massachusetts Pine Tree Threepence Silver Wyatt Copy, Kenney-5, MS62Thomas Wyatt's credible facsimile of the Noe-36 Pine Tree threepence. Two long die scratches from the first T in MASATHVSETS identify the copy. The dies were out of parallel, which causes a sharp strike on the lower obverse and left reverse, while the upper obverse and right reverse are lightly brought up. The obverse is mostly cream-gray, and the reverse is a somewhat deeper steel-gray. No marks are apparent. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
