Lot 636
1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling Noe-1 Rarity-3 F12. Frosty light grayish steel with darker steel toning in protected areas. Most of the details are consistent with a slightly higher grade, but the strike is uneven as if often the case with these early pieces and some of the legends are missing. Most of the Oak Tree is strong. The date and denomination are bold. No roughness or contact marks. The only mark is a thin planchet fissure at the rim on the upper left of the obverse and lower left of the reverse (as struck). Weight 57.3 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
