- 1652 Oak Tree Shilling. Noe-5, Salmon 3-D. Rarity-2. IN at Bottom. VF-25 (PCGS). Gold Shield Holder. 65.74 grains. The centers of this pleasing piece are highlighted by peach and dove-grey patina, complementing the colorful rainbow pastels that paint the borders. Poor striking quality and focused wear from the inherent curve of the planchet have reduced the eponymous tree on the obverse to a mere shadow. However, three branches on the left remain prominent and the base can be readily distinguished. The legends are nicely pronounced, especially on the reverse, where the date and denomination also read clearly and sharp for the marriage. A number of heavy die breaks are now well formed on the reverse, with a dramatic crack linking the tops of NDA along the right border. Overall attractive and undoubtedly original. PCGS# 20.
