Lot 12
Pine Tree Shilling, large planchet 1652. PCGS graded AU-55. Pale iridescent silver and blue on both sides, with ample luster in the fields near the devices. A later die state than most, with a vertical crack noted on the tree trunk, and the reverse with a virtually bisecting break at the top of the date. Other cracks are present as well, one at the top of the denomination, a lump is present on the upper left of D(OM) and a larger lump on (A)N. Nicely round save for a straight edge clip on the left obverse, and sharply impressed for the issue with just a trace of weakness on left side of the M, with all other design elements bold and complete. A classic example of this ever popular type coin, and one which is rarely found in such superlative condition.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000.
From the Paul Arthur Norris Collection.
