Lot 1233
1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large planchet. Noe-9, Rarity-6. PCGS graded AU-53. 64.8 grains. The nicer of the two Noe-9's from the Hain Family collection, where it was described as follows: "…Attractive medium silver gray in color with some very pale blue overtones. Obverse surface appears smooth and glossy, reverse a little rougher, as expected. About perfectly centered on both sides, just the tops of the letters at the top of the obverse and reverse run to or off the edge. Tree about as sharp as ever seen on an N.9. Two planchet creases, as made, only one of which has any effect on the sharpness of some letters. No important accidental damage whatsoever…" Upon examination, PCGS raised the grade from Extremely Fine to AU-53 and lowered the weight from 65.3 grains to 64.8 grains (PCGS # 23) Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000
