1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling Noe-1 R3 PCGS graded VF30. An "IN at Left" of tree type. Frosty light to medium silver fading to darker grayish steel in protected areas. Nicely centered on a nearly round planchet. The Oak Tree, date, and denomination are all strong. There is a minor wave or bend in the planchet that caused uneven wear on a few letters of the legend, but most of the letters are complete. This piece may have been struck more than once. A major portion of an "N" is clearly visible above the second N in ENGLAND and weaker elements of another letter are visible over the adjacent D. A nice piece worth a close look. Listed on page 41 in the "Redbook." Weight listed as 72.07 grains on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
