Lot Description

Lot 10 1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-26 Rarity-5 Small Planchet. (67.2 grs). PCGS graded VG-8.Rather glossy medium gray and steel with slightly lighter gray toning on the devices. The planchet is slightly bent causing uneven wear. The only notable mark is a planchet flake or void between the bases of the 1 & 6 in the date, and the void extends down into the top of the X below. Struck from a very late state of the dies with a cud break connecting the 2 to the base of the D and a die crack that extends to the rim above that D. Obviously quite rare in this state, which was not represented in the Hain or Ford collections. Estimated Value $700 - UP
