Important AU53 Noe-11 Oak Tree Shilling
Among the Finest Seen

1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling AU53 PCGS. Crosby 6b-E2, Noe-11, R.6. A remarkable example of Noe-11, superior to any of three Boyd/Ford specimens in both sharpness and overall quality. In its appearance in the Hain Family auction, the present piece was described as "One of the Finest Seen", and "far finer than Norweb:1168, Oechsner:933, NN 60th:196." The top of the 1 in the date is soft, perhaps due to a mint strike-through, but the remainder of this cream-gray example is satiny and smooth, save for a faded thin mark near the central left border of the tree. Minor straight mint-made clips affect only the top of IN, with the rest of the legends intact. Thin horizontal lines across the upper portion of the tree and through THV are from the die, and are characteristic of Noe-11. Listed on page 37 of the 2008 Guide Book.
