1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-30, Salmon 12-G, W-935. Rarity-3. EF Details--Tooled (PCGS).；67.9 grains. Deep charcoal patina to both sides, the central definition sharp and that along the lower borders also more or less bold. The strike is off center to 12 oclock on the obverse, 11 oclock on the reverse, with portions of the legends off the flan in those areas. Somewhat glossy in texture to explain the stated qualifier, although we stress that the in hand appearance is pleasingly smooth and the eye appeal is relatively strong.；From the Dr. Gordon Shaw Collection. Purchased from Early American Numismatics, November 1983. Collector envelope with attribution and provenance notes included.
