Lot 788
Maryland Shilling. PCGS graded EF-40. Dark gray surfaces with hints of a lighter antique gray underneath. Struck slightly off-center by several degrees at 7:00 on the obverse, shifting the legend to the right at 3:00. The faintest hairlines are seen on the obverse fields. A strong portrait with the hair typically weak at top due to buckling. The reverse shows the often seen raised clash mark below the II on the reverse. Hints of lavender rest on top of the shield. The legends, devices and fields are surprisingly free from any marks or planchet flaws. A very appealing and solid specimen. PCGS has graded 5 in EF-40 with 16 finer.
Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.
