1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-23, Salmon 8-C, W-875. Rarity-6. Fine-12 (NGC).
66.4 grains. An interesting example struck on a planchet that was tapered thin on one side, thus not receiving detail from the dies in that area. The remainder of the coin is choice and more like VF than Fine. The color is ideal - deep charcoal-gray fields contrasted by light tan-gray devices - and there are no marks or flaws that rise out of the realm of trivial. Pleasing despite the uneven strike and an elusive variety in any grade.
PCGS# 24. NGC ID: 2ARZ.
From the Muddy River Collection. Earlier from our Baltimore Auction of October 2018, lot 6045.
