1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling XF 40 PCGS. Small Planchet. Breen-62, Noe-30. 70.2 grams. Breen (1988) suggests that examples of this die variety were issued through 1682. All known examples have been struck on planchets that were smaller than the die, with the result that only some of the peripheral details are evident. In terms of post-production distractions, this coin is remarkably clean for the grade. There are no mentionable abrasions, and those devices that are present possess bold definition. An even blanket of lavender-charcoal toning envelops both sides of this rare and desirable Colonial. Listed on page 18 of the 2001 Guide Book. (PCGS# 24)

Undated (1658-1659) Lord Baltimore Shilling XF 45 PCGS. Breen-64. The Colonial issues of Maryland were produced in London at the request of Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore. Limited numbers of coins were produced in the penny, fourpence, sixpence, and shilling denominations. These pieces gained limited approval in Maryland until 1700, when they disappeared from general circulation. Needless to say, examples of all types are rare, and the relatively large shilling is a favorite among Colonial type collectors.

The impression is uneven due to misaligned dies, and localized weakness is noted near the left peripheries on both sides. The balance of the features are, however, bold, and the amount of actual wear is minimal. This is an original coin with a moderate overlay of lilac-gray color and a few olive tinted accents near the borders. A highlight of the numerous Colonial offerings in this sale, and a rare bidding opportunity for the specialist. Listed on page 19 of the 2001 Guide Book. (PCGS# 34)

Undated 1/24RL (1688) American Plantations Token AU 50 Corroded. Original. ET. HB. REX. Breen-80. 9.41 grams. The weight falls into Breen's 1988 range for originals: 8.72 - 9.98 grams. A rare coin, this lightly worn example is one of only 12 representatives of this variety believed extant. Breen believes that this obverse die was the first prepared. Both sides are noticeably corroded, but most major features are discernible. An important bidding opportunity for the specialist, and a coin that should be examined in person prior to bidding. Listed on page 20 of the 2001 Guide Book.

Undated 1/24RL American Plantations Token MS 62 PCGS. Breen-78. This coin is a restrike produced circa 1828, as evidenced by the severe rust pits (as struck) on both sides. An early die state, the sizeable crack on the obverse is not present on this coin. Despite the rough texture on both sides, the devices are nicely defined with a well centered impression. The rarity of original Plantations Tokens should attract significant bidder attention to this well preserved restrike. Both sides display a predominantly dove-gray sheen.

1694 1/2 P Carolina Elephant Token Fine 12. PROPRIETORS. Copper. Thin Planchet. Breen-194. 7.91 grams. The softness of detail in the center of the reverse is diagnostic of this rare Colonial issue. Nonetheless, traces of an E within the final O in PROPRIETORS are still evident. The obverse is sharper despite moderate wear, and both sides display a pleasing, glossy-brown texture. In his Encyclopedia, Breen (1988) states that only 12 copper strikings of this variety are extant. Listed on page 26 of the 2001 Guide Book.
