Lot 24
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
