1799 1C --Corroded--ANACS. VG Details, Net Good 4. S-189, R.3. Both LIBERTY and the date are quite boldly defined, while some weakness is noted on the reverse. The corrosion mentioned by ANACS is quite "old" and blends so nicely with the balance of the coin that we do not find this imperfection objectionable. (PCGS# 1443)

1955/55 1C Doubled Die MS65 Red and Brown NGC. FS-021.8. Considerable radiant orange color outlines the legends and devices, while the exposed fields and highpoints exhibit lavender hues. Lustrous throughout, this sharply struck Gem is unspotted and has no relevant contact. Gems with ample remaining Red color are rare, and are hardly sufficient to meet the demand for this famous and impressive doubled die variety. (PCGS# 2826)

1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling Fine 15 PCGS. Noe-9, Crosby 4-C, R.5. 70.2 grains. The Oak Tree is exquisitely struck on this unevenly circulated example, which also features a bold date and denomination. The obverse border has indistinct details between 3 and 6 o'clock, and the reverse where opposite is similarly weak, probably due to a thin planchet within those areas. Medium lavender, olive-brown and russet patina. A few very faint slide marks on the highpoints on the reverse, but the eye appeal is strong for the grade. The obverse is well centered, the reverse is slightly off center toward 12 o'clock affecting the tops of the letters in ENGLAND. Listed on page 18 of the 2004 Guide Book. (PCGS# 20)

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet AU55 NGC. 71.5 grains. Noe-1, Crosby 12-I, R.2. As with all Noe-1 shillings, this piece was struck on a smooth, large planchet. The colon punctuation is unusual and diagnostic for the variety. With the classic look of Massachusetts silver, this piece is an excellent example for a high grade Colonial type set. This is an especially well-centered Pine Tree shilling that is well defined in all areas with virtually complete legends and denticles, being weak only on the lower obverse. Deep blue-gray toning covers each side with no obvious or distracting abrasions. An especially choice example of this highly sought-after piece of Colonial Americana. Listed on page 18 of the current Guide Book. (PCGS# 23)

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet VF30 NGC. Noe-29, Crosby 14-R, R.3. Olive, rose, and steel-gray hues enrich this well centered Pine Tree Shilling. All legends are fully on the flan, and only the A in ENGLAND and the H in MASATHVSETS approaches the edge. Moderate highpoint rub does not affect the imposing eye appeal, and the only contact mark of any relevance is mentioned solely as a pedigree marker, a tick to the west of the lowest portion of the trunk.

(1659) 6PENCE Lord Baltimore Sixpence XF40 PCGS. Breen-68, Crosby Pl. III, 2. No dot appears after MVTIPLICAMINI on the reverse, however, a hyphen precedes the M on the obverse. The shillings, sixpence, fourpence, and denarium of this type were produced in 1658-59 at the request of Civil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore. King Charles I had granted George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, a charter that named him the Lord Proprietor of the colony that eventually became Maryland. An unknown mint in London, perhaps the Tower, produced a limited number of coins for Cecil Calvert when prices for commodities began to soar in Maryland in the mid to late 1650s. This well centered and attractively detailed example has tan-brown and dove-gray patina. Slight softness of strike is at 3 o'clock due to the die alignment. A faded pinscratch in the right obverse field and a mere whisper of verdigris on the reverse do not affect the eye appeal. A rare and desirable Colonial coin that was actually used in the American colonies. Listed on page 19 of the 2004 Guide Book. (PCGS# 33)

1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURRENCY, Pewter AU50 Details, Repaired, NCS. Breen-1092, Newman 2-C, Crosby Pl. VIII. A few clusters of wispy pinscratches on the links for Virginia, Delaware, and the Carolinas and faint, toned-over handling marks north and east of the sundial constitute the repair. Struck in tin, but the popular notion that these coins are made of pewter will not die. The surfaces are rich dove-gray in color and the devices are sharply defined throughout. Continental dollars are popular and enigmatic coins that were perhaps patterns authorized by the Continental Congress. Certainly, the design was later adapted for the Fugio Cent. The dies are rotated approximately 40 degrees clockwise from medal turn. Listed on page 33 of the 2004 Guide Book. (PCGS# 794)
