Salmon 6-E Oak Tree Shilling
The Third Finest of Sixteen Known

1652 Oak Tree Shilling, Salmon 6-E -- Environmental Damage -- NGC Details. AU. Noe-8, W-490, High R.6. 68.0 grains. Die orientation: 360º. Blue and gold is blended across the light gray surfaces of this example from a die pair unrepresented in the important exhibit of Massachusetts silver coins at the American Numismatic Society in 1991. Although assigned a details grade for environmental damage, this is an exceptional example of the variety that is infrequently offered in the marketplace. Several sources record Salmon 6-E as R.7, although we are choosing High R.6 as we know of 16 different examples. The finest is PCGS-graded AU50, from the Stearns Collection (lot 34) that recently appeared in the Robert Martin auction. Another AU50 PCGS coin is the Ford coin that we sold in 2008. The Salmon Collection coin offered here is the third finest known to us. Listed on page 36 of the 2023 Guide Book.
Ex: Robert Vlack (6/1980).
From The Christopher J. Salmon Collection.
