- Charming "Noe F" Pine Tree Shilling Copy 1652 (ca. 1850-1875) Pine Tree Shilling Struck Copy. Noe F. Silver. EF-45 (PCGS). 29.4 mm. 71.0 grains. Medal turn. A lovely example of this scarce 19th century fabrication, the Noe plate coin. Gold, navy blue, and dark gray tones blend over medium gray surfaces. Frosty and somewhat lustrous, with the cross-hatched texture of the obverse fields boldly struck up. The reverse shows a generous number of pre-striking file marks that manifest as aggressive hairline scratches, though they are part of the innate texture of the coin. Oval in shape, broader than the other two examples seen (the Ford duplicate and another privately held piece). A similar piece, struck from the same dies but with slightly differentiable engraved tree, was offered in our November 2013 sale. While somewhat soft at the reverse peripheries and central reverse, this is an attractive example of this enigmatic issue. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from B. Max Mehl's sale of the Ten Eyck Collection, May 1922, lot 749; Hillyer Ryder; F.C.C. Boyd; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 516.
