Description:

1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-6 Rarity-6 Large Planchet. (69.1 grs). PCGS graded Genuine. Details of Extremely Fine, Damage. Medium gray with lighter silvery gray toning on the highpoints. The highpoints are mostly smooth but the remainder of the planchet is covered with uniform very fine granularity. The only notable marks are a few shallow digs hidden in the limbs at the very top of the tree and a straight-edge clip (perhaps as struck) affecting the final two letters in MASATHVSETS and the opposing letters left of the date. Otherwise the legends are strong and the two backwards N's are clear. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
