1652 Oak Tree Shilling, Choice XF
Noe-14 Spiny Tree
Ex: Clarke, Boyd, Oechsner

1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling, Spiny Tree, XF45 NGC. Noe-14, W-530, Salmon 11a-Gi, R.4. Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection. 71.8 grains. The plate coin for the "Spiney Tree" variety in the 18th (and final) edition of The Standard Catalog of United States Coins. The "Oak" tree of Noe-13 was re-engraved at the Boston Mint, and the result appears similar to a Pine Tree shilling. This charming problem-free steel-gray example shows refreshingly unabraded surfaces. The obverse appears moderately misaligned toward 6 o'clock with the tops of IN M off the flan. The reverse centering is excellent. The coin exhibits the classic "S" wave of rocker press production, but the strike is consistent throughout. Undoubtedly a Condition Census example.
