Lot 26
1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-16 Rarity-2 Small Planchet PCGS Genuin. Rather glossy light silvery steel with darker medium steel gray toning in the protected areas. The devices are strong and well balanced, and the eye appeal of this piece is excellent. No notable marks or other defects. The PCGS label says this piece is "plugged," but we can find no evidence to support that assessment. Rather this piece was double struck and many of the devices overlap creating an odd appearance that may have led to the "plugged" determination. In our opinion this is a very nice double-struck example that deserves a strong grade. Careful inspection is recommended. Weight 65.8 grains. Listed on page 39 in the "Redbook." Estimated Value $1,000-UP
