Lot 1
1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling Noe-3 R6 PCGS graded AU50, CAC Approved. PCGS graded AU-50. Variety with ANDO following ENGLAND. Glossy light silvery gray and steel. The toning is a bit lighter on the devices than in the protected areas, thereby accenting the devices and adding to the eye appeal. The Oak Tree and date are both strong. The only mark is a dull dent on the A in ANDO, and this mark was strong enough to create a small lump at the opposing spot right of the Oak Tree. The obverse (tree side) is off center to K-2, as always on this variety, and some of the legend is off the planchet. The reverse is more centered on the planchet and those legends are complete, although the DO in ADNO is weak, as always in this die marriage. A nice example of this very rare variety. Weight shown on the PCGS label is 70.36 grains. Listed on page 41 in the "Redbook." PCGS population 1; finer of 2 graded at PCGS, the other is VF30. (PCGS # 45363) Estimate Value $10,000 - UP
