Lot Description

1652 Oak Tree Shilling. Noe-1, Salmon 1-A, W-430. Rarity-3. IN at Left. EF-40 (PCGS). Pleasant pewter and steel gray surfaces with most devices sharply defined. Struck on an ovoid planchet with a few shallow clips around the borders. The tops of a few peripheral letters on both sides are off the flan, but the only appreciable lack of detail is confined to the letters THV at the right obverse, which are soft. Small carbon spot below the left base of the tree, but otherwise the surfaces are smooth in hand. Noe-1 is one of the more obtainable die varieties of the Oak Tree shilling, and this handsome EF would certainly do well in a circulated type set of Colonial era coinage. PCGS# 45361. NGC ID: 2ARK.
