Post by Brianmo »

Just seen this on facebook

This exceptionally rare coin that was discovered just few weeks ago could turn out too be one of the rarest coin discoveries in recent times ,,the condition compared too other examples is just quite staggering ,,,its just been delivered too London and is then on its way too America ,,,the auction price ,, well the skys the limit ,,but I reckon it will do close too a quarter of a million pounds ,,,an outstanding discovery in an English field :))

BREAKING NEWS :: EXTREMELY VALUBLE COIN FIND

a big well done to John Stoner on finding this little beauty on sundays afternoon field.....................we had to keep it quiet until we had it looked at, we have been at a coin dealers today and they have took it to take it to auction due to its historic and monetary value !
we have had non stop emails from all the big names,and a massive response from dealers across the pond, so were off down london next week to meet with the big wigs and get the ball rolling, this is a super rare coin, and in the best condition known

1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Oak Tree Threepence. Backward S's. N.23, Cr.1-A1, W.28. R-6 (rating reduced since the Hain sale). 14.2 gns. About Uncirculated. An outstanding specimen. The Noe Plate Coin. The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. One of the finest seen, beaten by a Choice Unc. and tied for technical grade with the 1991 ANS Exhibition coin but better than the three Stearns coins (one of which went to Hain), the NN 60th and Norweb sale pieces, and the two in the MHS (1970) auction. Both sides are toned in deep rich gray shades.

On the obverse the tree is mostly full and sharp even given the small size of the planchet. The inscription around is a little jumbled and soft at the lower right and left but can be mostly read nevertheless. On the reverse the denomination and date are clear and sharp and the inscription around is mostly full and bold. The piece was struck slightly off center on both sides leaving a partial outline of the die edge visible on the obverse and a much more pronounced one at the base of the reverse. Described by Wurtzbach on his collector's ticket as ''Unc. Gem piece. Cannot be improved as such excessively rare.'' This is the only variety with IN on the obverse.
the one listed on an american auction in a poor condition sold for 135.000 dollars in 2005
we have just got back from a meeting with the farmer
