Lot 11
1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-13 Rarity-6. (50.9 grs). PCGS Genuine. Edge Damage - Fine Details. Glossy medium to dark gray and steel with lighter silvery gray toning on the devices. There is a dull dent at the left top of the Oak Tree that caused a minor bulge close above the opposing 5 in the date. In addition there is a fissure in the planchet at the first T in MASATHVSETS (as struck). The weight is a bit light at 50.9 grains, so there must have been some clipping done. The date and denomination are clear as is most of the legend, although many of the letters are partially off the planchet. A later state of the Noe-13 variety with obvious re-engraving on the tree trunk that left a split down the center of that trunk (sometimes called N-13.3 or N-13.6). Estimated Value $600 - UP
