1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-16 Rarity-2. PCGS graded VF-20. A Small Planchet variety. Glossy medium steel gray with lighter silvery gray on the highpoints and slightly darker gray in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable marks are a small planchet fissure at the rim over the final S in MASATHVSETS and at the top of the opposing E in NEW (as struck). Struck slightly off center to K-3 but the legends remain on the planchet. The Pine Tree is clear while the date and denomination are bold. Scarce late die state with obvious crumbling in the left side of the tree. A decent mid-grade example of this famous early colonial issue. Weight listed as 67.0 grains on the PCGS label. The Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance is noted on the PCGS label (PCGS # 24) Value $2,500 - UP

1787 Fugio Cent Newman 12-X Rarity-3. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. A STATES UNITED variety. Choice frosty medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth and attractive, free of any of the planchet fissures or voids that seem to plague these early coppers. Mint luster shows in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only defects, and they are trivial, are traces of crud nestled between some of the sun rays. The legends are complete and easily readable, and the date is bold. Later die state with die cracks on both sides. Our grade is AU50. Probably from the famous Bank of New York hoard of uncirculated Fugio Cents that contained a couple hundred examples of this die combination. The Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance is noted on the PCGS label (PCGS # 883) Value $2,000 - UP
