- Noe Plate, Described by Crosby “1650” (ca. 1850) Pine Tree Shilling Struck Copy. Noe C. Silver. AU-50 (PCGS). 25.1 mm. 57.2 grains. Medal turn. Glossy antique gray with choice gold and blue cabinet toning on attractive surfaces. Carefully stuck and nicely preserved, with a single short vertical scratch right of the base of the pine tree, three horizontal marks above the date, and a zig-zag mark in the lower reverse field. Despite being struck around 1854, this actually appears to have circulation wear and has a passably antique appearance. With a different date, and a bit more accurate planchet texture and shape, this could actually be convincing. The history of this piece is laid out in the previous description. This piece has been sold publicly at auction just once, so far as we can tell, in 2006. This is its second auction offering. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from "Mr. Getchell" of Boscawen, New Hampshire before 1854; Dr. Ammi Brown about 1854; unknown intermediaries; T. James Clarke; F.C.C. Boyd; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 513. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
