Losbeschreibung

Nice EF Noe-29 Pine Tree Shilling 1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-29, Salmon 11-F, W-930. Rarity-3. EF-40 (PCGS). 69.1 grains. A richly and originally toned example with sandy-silver and slate-gray highlights to dominant steely-charcoal patina. The strike is off center to 10 o'clock on the obverse, upper left border through the peripheral lettering, although the tree is bold and all peripheral features are at least partially discernible. The reverse is better centered, border lightly engaging a few peripheral letters, upper periphery soft, date and denomination bold. A few ancient, wispy handling marks are easily overlooked. The Noe-29 variety is readily available overall but is seldom encountered above VF condition. The present example is a significant survivor from these dies, worthy of serious bidder consideration. PCGS# 24. NGC ID: 2ARZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
