1652 New England 3 Pence?

You all understand that the TPGers usually don't rely on "in house authority" for coins such as this; the '"OK' comes from someone of Newman-wesque stature, or at least people who have the expertise, such as Alan and Anthony. I'll even add that the author of the authorative book on the Higley colonials hemmed and hawed about mine-even he couldn't figure it out. As someone who remembers the days before TPG, you really had to know your stuff: not just if a coin were Genuine, but also if it was played-with (OK, they still don't have that one down pat yet). The Grading Guarantee and Guarantee of a sight-unseen certified coin market was all Wall Street wanted to hear. That little chunk of plastic has revolutionized coin collecting as much as has the Internet-a vast transformtion. The little chunk of plastic around the OP's coin would be worth Millions as Genuine, and would set a record even if iy were deemed to be a cont=emporary imitation. That's what TPG plastic would do for that coin. Even the bored people who watch the national newscasts would sit up and take notice.Click-bait City. Heritage issues tonss of press releases every year... The virus has limited travel lately. Give it some time; no one is going to rush-to-judgement on this coin...

Hopefully larsjan will update us on his coin soon. This is a very enticing story.

wonder what is going on with this coin ?

Can't see a pic or a link.

I would just ask in the original thread here http://goccf.com/t/370805
I don't think we'll hear anything else until a decision is made.

Please keeps replies in original topic.

This pops into my head occasionally but I stopped wanting to reopen the thread and get anyone thinking there was some news. A little birdie told me something and I was sworn to secrecy, but that was over 6 months ago so what it was can't be relevant anymore. Haven't seen anything splashy from Stacks or PCGS in a while so I wonder if it sold privately to somebody like Ian Russell.
