1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe-5, Salmon 4-Di, W-720. Rarity-4. Without Pellets at Trunk, Reversed N. Fine, Heavily Clipped.49.5 grains. Extensively clipped around the periphery, the legends are essentially absent from 6 to 9 oclock on the obverse, 3 to 6 oclock on the reverse. Other peripheral letters are only partially complete, upper central obverse and lower left reverse also soft due to uneven wear caused by slight waviness in the planchet. Pleasingly toned in a blend of steel and charcoal gray, the surfaces are smooth in hand apart from a few wispy pin scratches and tiny digs in and around the central obverse and at the lower reverse border.Tattered collector envelope included.
