拍品描述： 1652 Oak Tree Shilling. Noe-1, Salmon 1-A, W-430. Rarity-3. IN at Left. VF-35 (PCGS).68.6 grains. An overall boldly defined example struck on a roughly egg-shaped planchet. Prominent straight clip at 6 oclock relative to the obverse, minor flan flaw at 10 oclock relative to the same side. The left peripheral devices on both sides are partially off the flan, lettering softly defined at the base of the obverse and at 9 oclock on the reverse. All other devices are nicely defined, the tree and central reverse features particularly bold apart from minor softness to the base of the tree. A few ancient scratches and tiny planchet pits notwithstanding, the overall appearance of this piece is pleasingly smooth for a mid grade coin of this type. Noe-1 is one of the more obtainable die varieties of the Oak Tree shilling, and this lightly toned Choice VF would certainly do well in a circulated type set of Colonial era coinage.
