Description

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet VF20 PCGS. Noe-11, R.4. 68.7 grains. There is a straightened bend (common on this issue due to the thin planchets) and a few nicks on each side. But there is a nice contrast of light letters against darker gray fields. All the letters are present but the tops of some are off the edge of the planchet. This Noe die variety is also a specific Red Book variety, with the spelling MASATVSETS (note the missing H). On the reverse, all the N's are backward (or upside down, you decide!). Listed on page 18 of the 2002 Guide Book.
From the David Bruce Collection.
