Lot 6
1652 Oak Tree Shilling. Fine-12. A rare example for the specialist, this one has a larger but typically placed planchet crack on the lower left obverse. The "S" shape to the planchet resulted in uneven wear and we note the planchet is uniformly clipped and thus a bit smaller than others seen for this variety. The central oak tree is well struck, but the tops and bottoms are worn away by the uneven planchet. Toned a medium to dark antique silver color, and pleasing despite the planchet fissure and wear. An important offering for the die variety specialist, and an excellent study coin for an advanced collection.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800.
