Lot 212
1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-16 R2. About Good-3. Light to medium grayish steel. The planchet is moderately corroded, possibly a sea-salvaged piece. No verdigris or notable marks. The 52 of the date is readable, as is the XII denomination, but only about a third of the legend is readable on the date side and even less remains visible on the tree side where the corrosion has obliterated nearly everything. Fortunately there is enough to be certain of the Noe attribution. An inexpensive example of this famous early American issue.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
Ex ANR 6/21/2006:301.
