1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling VG10 PCGS. Noe-8, Crosby 5-A, High R.6. 67.4 grains. The wide O in DOM identifies this rare Noe variety. The tree branches also differ from the similar (and substantially less rare) Noe-9. This slightly wavy example is sharper than the VG10 grade implies, since all legends are clear, and the trees branches have surprising definition. The surfaces are somewhat rough, as expected for the grade, and the color varies from ivory to dark gray with occasional gold tints. Listed on page 37 of the 2006 Guide Book. (PCGS# 20)
