Iconic Noe-1 Pine Tree Shilling 1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe-1, Salmon 1-A, W-690. Rarity-2. Pellets at Trunk. VF-35 (PCGS). 69.44 grains. Overall boldly defined with a few shallow straight clips around the borders. The lettering at the top of the reverse is flush to the border, but the word ENGLAND is fully legible.

Pleasing mid grade quality for this extremely popular variety, considered by many to be the quintessential type coin in the entire colonial and early federal era series. PCGS# 23. NGC ID: 2549.
