Most Exciting Colonial Coin Discovery in Years Consigned to Stack’s Bowers Galleries
The 1652 New England threepence has been recognized as the single rarest colonial coin by American collectors since before the Civil War. With only one specimen known, locked away in the Massachusetts Historical Society since 1905, the unique NE threepence was utterly non-collectible. A second specimen, once in the Yale Cabinet, was stolen decades ago and never recovered. None have been in a private collection since the death of William Sumner Appleton in 1903, but collectors will have the opportunity to acquire a newly discovered specimen in the November 2024 Stacks Bowers Galleries auction.
