详细说明

High Grade Noe-2 Pine Tree Shilling 1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree shilling. Noe-2, Salmon 2-C, W-700. Rarity-4. Large Planchet. AU-58 (PCGS). 71.4 grains. Highly glossy dark gray with blue and rose highlights on the reverse. Both sides are problem free and perfectly centered on the large oval planchet. The fields on the obverse are fairly fatigued in this die state, showing some texture and reducing the contrast with the dramatic large tree. The reverse also shows some texturing and die spalling, lending a bit more frost than seen on early die state coins in similar grade. A distinctive and attractive piece fit for an advanced cabinet. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack's sale of December 1979, lot 6. PCGS Population (Pine Tree shilling, Large Planchet, No Pellets variety only): 1; 9 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 45370
