1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-16, Salmon 2-B, W-835. Rarity-2. VF-30 (PCGS).,70.06 grains. This richly toned example is awash in olive-gray and antique gold patina. Surface texture is a bit rough overall,<em> as made,</em> although there are no marks or other post-production distractions of note. The obverse impression is drawn to 6 oclock with the lower devices flush to the border, while on the reverse the strike is well centered within full denticulation. All devices are boldly defined and fully appreciable. Late die state for this readily obtainable variety, we note prominent obverse breaks within the lower left branches of the tree and within the circle of dots after the word IN in the legend.,PCGS# 24.
