Lot 634
1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling Noe-9 R5 PCGS graded XF45. An "IN at Bottom" of tree type. Attractive glossy medium grayish steel, slightly lighter on the devices than in the protected areas. The obverse (tree side) is slightly misaligned to the bottom but the reverse is nicely centered on the nearly round planchet. All the design elements are well struck and this piece would be choice except for a mint-made fissure that affects the H in MASATHVSETS and the opposing first N in ENGLAND. Still a very nice example of this tough Large Planchet variety. Listed on page 41 in the "Redbook." Weight listed as 70.52 grains on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $4,000 - UP
