Description

1652 Oak Tree Shilling, MS64
The Finest Known Noe-3, AN DO

1652 Oak Tree Shilling, AN DO, MS64 NGC. Noe-3, W-450, Salmon 1-C, R.6. 72.2 grains. A rare variety despite three examples in the Ford Collection, two others in the Hain Collection, and two pieces in the present sale. This specimen is the finest of those from Ford, and was previously in the F.C.C. Boyd Collection. An impressive oval-shaped example that displays AN DO instead of the usual AN DOM, this Oak Tree shilling is toned medium sea-green and caramel-gold with shimmering luster and pleasing surfaces. The tree, date, and denomination are bold, as are most of the peripheral letters. DO is weak due to the die state, and a planchet wave near the edge causes softness on HV. The obverse is slightly misaligned toward 12 o'clock with the tops of MASAT incomplete. The reverse is moderately misaligned toward 3:30, affecting portions of WEN.
Ex: F.C.C. Boyd Collection; John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XII (Stack's, 10/2005), lot 18; Donald Groves Partrick.

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 20, Greysheet# 8)
