1652 Shilling Pine Tree, Small Planchet MS (PCGS#24)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-16, Salmon 2-B, W-835. Rarity-2. VF-30 (PCGS). 67.1 grains. A very nice broad planchet with moderate, yet even wear accounting for the desirable Choice VF grade from PCGS. The die breaks mentioned by Noe are just starting, joining the first three branches on the left side of the tree, and another one joining the group of dots below the tree. Obverse impression slightly off center to lower left, affecting only abut 30% of the beading. The reverse, however, is ideally centered with full border beading. Warmly and evenly toned in rich dove-gray with a pleasingly smooth appearance in the absence of troublesome marks. Not a rare die pairing, but an excellent type coin at the assigned grade level. Provenance: From the George Henry Carman Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the Donald Groves Collection, November 1974, lot 292. Lot tag included PCGS# 24. NGC ID: 2ARZ.
