Description
1652 Oak Tree Shilling, AU50
Noe-13.6 Spiny Tree Variety
1652 Oak Tree Shilling, Spiny Tree, AU50 NGC. Noe 13.6, W-520,
Salmon 11-G, R.6. 69.8 gn. IN at bottom. Olive-green and
walnut-brown surfaces shimmer over well-defined devices. Unabraded
and attractive with full legends save for minor mint clips on the
lower obverse. This obverse was reengraved three times for a total
of four varieties, Noe-13, 13.3, 13.6, and 13.9. The present
Noe-13.6's dies are similar to the well known Spiny Tree variety
(Noe-14), and it is cataloged as such. However, the die break
between the lower right branch and the second T in MASATHVSETS has
yet to be removed by an assiduous Boston Mint employee, as is found
on the extremely rare Noe 13.9. The diagonal die line through the
upper tree branches (as seen here) was also removed from the die
before Noe-14 was coined. Listed on page 8 of the 2026 Guide
