Lot 635
1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling Noe-9 R5 NGC graded VF30. An "IN at Bottom" of tree type. Glossy medium grayish steel fading to a slightly darker shade of gray in protected areas. This piece is quite nice for the grade, void of any notable defects. The obverse is nicely centered but the reverse is slightly off center to the top leaving parts of a few letters off the nearly round planchet. The Oak Tree is complete and clearly visible but not strong, and everything else is clear. A nice, problem-free example of this historic early American coinage. Listed on page 41 in the "Redbook." Weight listed as 64.6 grains on the NGC label. Estimate Value $2,500 - UP
