- Particularly Choice Noe-17 Small Planchet Pine Tree Shilling 1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree shilling. Noe-17, Salmon 3-B, W-840. Rarity-3. Small Planchet. AU-53 (PCGS). 67.3 grains. Lustrous and beautiful, perfectly centered on an ideal round planchet, one of the prettiest specimens of this variety one could hope to encounter. The surfaces are frosty and beautifully toned, showing rose and blue highlights on both sides and some bright gold on the reverse. Both sides glitter with fresh surface and show no noteworthy flaws, just a single line on the 5 in the date. This is not a rare variety, nor is this variety particularly scarce in nice grade, but for the collector who seeks one exceptionally attractive specimen of the type, this piece answers to that high calling. It rivals the superb Kendall AU-58 (PCGS) and surpasses many examples of this Noe number in advanced specialized cabinets. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack's Summer 1977 fixed price list, acquired July 1977. PCGS Population (all Pine Tree shilling, Small Planchet, varieties): 9; 28 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 24.
