Description

1652 Pine Tree Shilling, XF45
Noe-9 Rarity, Large Planchet

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet, Reversed N, XF45 NGC. Noe-9, W-750, Salmon 7a-Diii, R.6. 72.0 grains. Die alignment: 360°. An exceptional example of this rare variety. The tree is lightly struck, as always, and the coin as a whole is struck more firmly on the upper half of the planchet than on the lower. The charm of the hand-cut legends is accentuated by the remarkable spelling of EИGLAND, with the first N backwards and the second correct. The golden gray toning with a touch of rose is exactly what one expects in an original piece. Though rated R.6, the Noe-9 must surely be toward the upper end of that rating, closer to R.7 than R.5. Listed on page 34 of the 2022 Guide Book.
