"VF-30, repaired" (illustrated above).  Ex - Early American History Auctions, Inc. Mail Bid Sale, August 24, 2002, Lot 882, where it was described as follows: "1652 Oak Tree Threepence, Noe-27, Repaired, Very Fine-30. Rarity-6. 79 grains. A pleasing example of this extremely rare Noe-27 variety. Nice in detail for the grade with one extremely well executed expert repair made to a small nail hole at top, above the Oak Tree. The coin remains a pleasing light silvery-gray in color with slightly deeper tone to the recessed areas adding to the overall eye appeal. (Current 2002 Guidebook value in VF-20 lists at $3,900.) A variety missing from most collections of Massachusetts silver and easily worth our estimate range."
