Lot 1493
1652 Oak Tree Shilling. NGC graded In at bottom (69.4 gns) EF-40 Noe 6, Rarity 7. Light grey toning. Clear tree definition in the branches, but weak at the bottom where portions of the legend disappear beyond the edge of the planchet. A clear date with bold denomination, the reverse has extensive die breakage, including a blob of metal to the right of the denomination, and extensive linkage of the tops of the letters at right involving ND-A in particular. Scarce early Oak tree coinage. NGC reports 2 at this level with 12 finer.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,500.
