1652 Oak Tree Shilling. Noe-12. Salmon 9a-Fii. W-510. Rarity-6. IN at Bottom. VF Details--Graffiti (PCGS).70.6 grains. The latest of three distinct stages of the same die pair, Noe-12 is characterized by soft detail at the central obverse, a small internal cud on the lower right tree branch, and the absence of a center dot on the reverse. The present example of this scarce variety is well-detailed and just about perfectly centered - the legends complete and bold except for part of IN affected by a natural planchet irregularity. Light silver-gray in color with a bit of golden-tan toning in the protected areas. Faint hairlines on each side and two heavier scratches running from the central obverse to the rim before IN. The PCGS qualifier concerns a curious “176” etched in the reverse field above the date.
