Lot 23
1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-7 Rarity-6+ Large Planchet PCGS graded. Variety with a very large "6" in the date, a backwards first N in ENGLAND, and an especially tall Pine Tree. Rather glossy medium steel gray with darker gray toning in protected areas. The date is strong and the recutting on the 6 that created a grossly oversized numeral is obvious. The legends are bold and easily readable, although the tops of some letters are off the planchet. The notable marks are a small dent under the denomination that created a minor bulge at the opposing spot left of the tree trunk, and two planchet voids or struck-through errors at the bottom of the reverse (apparently as struck). A premium example of this very rare variety in spite of the minor defects. Weight 66.9 grains. Listed on page 39 in the "Redbook." Estimated Value $4,000-UP
