1652 Pine Tree Shilling, MS65+
Large Planchet, Pellets
Noe-1, Ex: Hawn, Partrick

1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet, Pellets at Trunk, Noe-1, W-690, Salmon 1-A, R.2, MS65+ NGC. CAC. 72.7 grains. This Large Planchet variety has pellets at the tree trunk, and it is a beautiful walnut-brown and dove-gray Pine Tree type coin that was described in the Hawn catalog as "far nicer than any other we have seen recently." The lustrous surfaces exhibit the classic S-wave characteristic of rocker press emission. The obverse is moderately misaligned toward 5:30, but all legends are complete except for the lowest corner of the obverse M. The die state is relatively early, with light horizontal cracks crossing the tops of 16 and XII, and extending from the tail of the 2. Further cracks and small breaks affect the N and D in AN DOM. This Gem is lightly clashed on the lower obverse, as nearly always for the variety. Noe-1 is a plentiful variety although few Mint State pieces exist. Listed on page 9 of the 2026 Guide Book. This Gem tops the list of the six finest examples of Noe-1 in recent auctions:
