Lot 2		Raleigh Plantation Token (ca. 1584) Brass. Bets-15. Die Pair 1. Very Good. 11.6 grams. 29.5 mm. 2.28 mm thick. Plain Edge. Token reads "As soone as weee to bee begunn we did begin to bee undonn". Thought to be issued by Sir Walter Raleigh suggesting fate of Roanoke colony in 1584. An extremely rare early issue, associated with the first attempts to establish a colony on the North Carolina coast well before Jamestown. The fields are light tan mixing with olive. Struck in low relief as are all known genuine examples and clearly identifiable as such. Estimated Value $1,000 - UP Ex Bowers and Merena, March 1989. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,520
Lot 3		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-8 Rarity-6+. (66.6 grs). PCGS Genuine. Env. Damage - VF Details. The highpoints are bright silver while the remainder of the planchet is light gray thanks to mostly uniform microscopic granularity. Probably recovered from an unfriendly environment (soil?) and lightly cleaned to remove the crud. No verdigris, crusting, or contact marks, and the eye appeal is decent. The Oak Tree is mostly clear and the legends are easily readable even though the tops of a few letters are off the planchet. The date and denomination are reasonably strong. A perfectly acceptable example of this very rare "Redbook" variety. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 4		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 $1,500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5		1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-8 Rarity-4 Large Planchet, Monogram NE. Glossy medium steel gray. The devices are not especially strong but the surfaces are smooth and everything is easily readable with the exception of the 5 in the date, which is weak. The "Monogrammed" NE in NEW is strong. There are some dull, faint vertical scratches in the field right of the Pine Tree and a dig or attempted puncture on the last S in MASATHVSETS. The "Monogrammed NE" variety has a separate listing on page 39 in the "Redbook" where it is called a "Ligatured NE." An acceptable example of this interesting variety. Weight 58.3 grains. Estimated Value $1,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,400
Lot 6		1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-18 Rarity-6+ Small Planchet. (70.6 grs). PCGS graded VG-10. Mostly glossy light silvery gray with darker steel gray toning covering the protected areas. The legends are complete and easily readable, although a couple letters are relatively weak. The date is clear and the denomination is bold. The only marks are some light scrapes or scratches under AT in MASATHVSETS. The so-called "Bird's Nest" break in the right branches of the Pine Tree is clear. Estimated Value $1,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,840
Lot 7		1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-9 Rarity-6 Large Planchet. (58.1 grs). PCGS Genuine. Scratch - Fine Details. Glossy medium steel gray blending to slightly darker gray in some of the protected areas. The surfaces are smooth but a bit uneven thanks mostly to an old vertical bend or wave in the planchet left of the tree. The date, denomination, and legends are all easily readable, although a few elements are weak or slightly off the planchet. There is a dull diagonal scratch visible to the unaided eye at the top of the reverse plus a few lighter scratches left of the tree and several minor dents on either side of the trunk. Estimated Value $800 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,860
Lot 8		1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-20 Rarity-7 Small Planchet (64.8 grs). PCGS Genuine. Damage -VG Details. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel gray toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are very lightly eroded and there are traces of shallow scale in a couple places. The only notable marks are a some light scratches on both sides, none distracting. The date and denomination are easily readable and most of the legends are clear. Late die state with swelling at the top of the reverse in addition to the usual small cud breaks. Estimated Value $800 - UP Ex Early American History Auctions 12/13/2003:1113. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 9		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-9 Rarity-5. (43.6 grs). PCGS Genuine. Edge Damage - Fine Details. Glossy light silvery gray fading to darker gray in protected areas. Evenly worn with a strong date and denomination and a nearly complete Oak Tree, but obviously clipped leaving parts of the legend off the planchet. No roughness or notable marks. Estimated Value $750 - UP Ex Robert Rhue, 2003 C-4 Convention Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 11/8/2003:1. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,800
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 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,620
Lot 11		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-13 Rarity-6. (50.9 grs). PCGS Genuine. Edge Damage - Fine Details. Glossy medium to dark gray and steel with lighter silvery gray toning on the devices. There is a dull dent at the left top of the Oak Tree that caused a minor bulge close above the opposing 5 in the date. In addition there is a fissure in the planchet at the first T in MASATHVSETS (as struck). The weight is a bit light at 50.9 grains, so there must have been some clipping done. The date and denomination are clear as is most of the legend, although many of the letters are partially off the planchet. A later state of the Noe-13 variety with obvious re-engraving on the tree trunk that left a split down the center of that trunk (sometimes called N-13.3 or N-13.6). Estimated Value $600 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,440
Lot 12		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Threepence All 3 S's Correct Noe-25 Rarity-6. PCGS graded VG-10. Glossy medium gray and steel. The surfaces are a bit uneven and the tops of some of the legends are off the planchet, but overall the eye appeal is nice for the grade. The only notable marks are a scuff of old scratches near the rim right of the date. The date and denomination are complete and easily readable, and most of the Oak Tree remains visible. A decent example of the denomination. Estimated Value $600 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 13		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Sixpence IN on Obverse Noe-22 Rarity-5. (2.12 gr). ANACS graded VF 20 Details. Damaged. Glossy medium to dark gray with lighter steel gray toning on the devices. Both sides are unevenly worn thanks to a few dents and resulting bends in the planchet, and a glass reveals fine scratches that are mostly lost in the toning plus two lines of tiny impressions left of the date. The date is easily readable but the V in the denomination is lost. The obverse (tree side) is off center to K-1 but the reverse is reasonably well centered on the planchet. Far from perfect but still an acceptable example of this tough denomination of the Oak Tree type. The attribution is noted on the ANACS label. Estimated Value $500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 14		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-7 Rarity-5. (63.8 grs). PCGS Genuine. Damage - VG Details. Glossy medium silver on the devices blending to darker gray in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and there are no notable marks. The weight is a bit light at 63.8 grains and portions of the legend are off the planchet, so some minor clipping must have occurred. The date and denomination are bold but the Oak Tree is nearly invisible thanks to the very late die state, clearly later than either of the Ford examples of the variety. Estimated Value $500 - UP Ex G. H. Philpotts Sale, Kagin's 1/31/1985:1053. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 15		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Threepence All 3 S's Backwards Noe-23 Rarity-6. PCGS Genuine. Damage - Good Detail. Frosty light to medium silvery gray with darker steel gray toning in some of the protected areas. The strike is uneven with some of the details of Fine sharpness while others are faint or missing. The date and denomination are clear and significant portions of the legends are visible on both sides (including two of the three backwards S's). The only notable marks are an "X" lightly scratched across both sides. Estimated Value $350 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 16		1662 Massachusetts Oak Tree Twopence Small 2 Noe-29 Rarity-6+. PCGS Genuine. Damage - Fine Details. Glossy medium to dark gray with slightly lighter gray toning on the devices. The reverse is smooth and void of notable defects but the obverse is covered with tiny rectangular marks that weaken most of the tree and legends on that side. The reverse is much better, but there is a dull dent or pinch that flattens the legend at the bottom. The date is easily readable (although the top of the 2 is distorted by a die break), the denomination is strong, and much of the legend on that side is clear. Estimated Value $500 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $900
Lot 17		1652 Oak Tree Shilling, IN at bottom (43.8 grs). PCGS graded Genuine tooled Details of About Uncirculated. Very attractive frosty light to medium gray with lighter silver toning on the highpoints. Looks flawless to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals microscopic pin scratches in many of the protected areas, particularly on the reverse. There must have been some clipping done as well since portions of the legend are off the planchet, which is light at 43.8 grains. However, the devices that remain on the planchet are sharp, clearly sharper than any of the 3 Ford examples of the variety. The Oak Tree is especially bold. An impressive Oak Tree Shilling in spite of the imperfections. A popular "Redbook" variety (PCGS # 45362) Estimated Value $5,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
