Losbeschreibung

1652 Oak Tree Shilling. Noe-9, Salmon 7-Ei, W-500. Rarity-5. IN at Bottom. VF-30 (PCGS). 70.6 grains. An appealing mid-grade example of this classic early Colonial era type. Nicely toned in a blend of steel gray and silver-lilac, both sides are well defined in and around the centers. The borders are through the tops of most peripheral letters, the result of clipping at the mint to bring the weight in line with the authorized standard. All letters are at least partially discernible, however, and the legends are legible. Several light marks over the right central obverse are noted, the reverse appreciably smoother in appearance. A nice circulated type candidate that also holds considerable appeal for the Massachusetts silver variety specialist. PCGS# 20. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
