1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-15, Salmon 1-A, W-830. Rarity-5. Fine Details--Damage (PCGS).60.18 grains. Otherwise silver gray surfaces exhibit warmer outlines of russet to many of the design elements. The left and right obverse are devoid of detail, as is much of the left, center and right reverse, although much of the tree is sharp and the date is bold. Struck off center to the left obverse and right reverse with the peripheral features in those areas partially to fully off the flan. A touch of glossiness to the texture is noted for accuracy, the PCGS qualifier largely concerning concentrations of tiny digs at the right obverse and left reverse borders. The planchet is generally round with a shallow clip at 4 oclock relative to the obverse.
