Significant examples:
EF-40 (illustrated above). Ex - Superior Galleries New York ANA Sale, August 1-3,
2002, Lot 3, illustrated, where it was described as follows: "1652
Massachusetts Oak Tree Twopence. Noe-34 Rarity-5. Extremely Fine 40. Glossy
dark gray with light silvery gray highpoints, the contrast accenting the
details. The obverse is aligned slightly to K-9 while the reverse is
nicely centered. The legends are strong and complete, only MASA tight to
the rim. The planchet is slightly uneven and a small bulge shows close
under the M. Otherwise a choice example for the grade. Weight 11.2
grains."
