Description

Salmon 3-D Oak Tree Shilling
Ex: Ellsworth-Garrett-Picker

1652 Oak Tree Shilling, Salmon 3-D, AU58 NGC. Noe-5, W-470, R.2. 71.1 grains. The raised ridge of metal at the upper obverse, appearing somewhat like a rim break or cud, is the result of "plastic flow" of the metal as discussed at lot 3257 of the Christopher J. Salmon Collection, Part I, another example of the Salmon 3-D Oak Tree shilling having a similar but less pronounced appearance. Traces of luster remain on the medium gray surfaces that show attractive gold and pale blue toning. The tree is quite sharp on this example that shows mostly complete legends. Although a plentiful variety, this is an impressive example. Listed on page 36 of the 2023 Guide Book.
Ex: Ellsworth Collection; Garrett Collection; Johns Hopkins University (privately); Richard Picker (10/1984), lot 7.
From The Christopher J. Salmon Collection of Massachusetts Silver, Part II.
