1652 Sixpence Oak Tree - 'IN' on Reverse
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
A die variety of the Oak Tree sixpence identified by a distinctive feature related to the appearance of "IN" on the reverse side. Oak Tree coins replaced the Willow Tree type in about 1660 and were made until about 1667; Christopher Salmon places the shillings among the coins struck on a rocker press. The shillings, sixpences and threepences are dated 1652, and the twopence, a value first authorized in 1662, is dated 1662. Salmon names each variety by its obverse die (a number) and reverse die (a letter), and the older Noe numbers are given alongside. This is Noe-16 (Salmon 1-A, W-360). Cataloged as PCGS #45359.
