1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-13 Rarity-6 PCGS Genuine. Attractive frosty light silvery gray and steel with traces of darker toning in some of the protected areas. Reasonably well centered on the planchet, and it looks flawless to the unaided eye. A glass reveals a scuff of shallow scratches or scrapes that skip from the upper right branches of the Oak Tree to VSE in MASATHVSETS onto the rim above. Later die state with swelling across the center of the obverse. The date, denomination, and legends are complete and easily readable, and the Oak Tree is nearly complete in spite of the swelling in that area. Comparable to the Ford example except for the minor scratches. Weight 69.7 grains. Listed on page 39 in the "Redbook." Estimated Value $3,000-UP
