1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-30, Salmon 12-G, W-935. Rarity-3. Fine-15 (PCGS). 66.51 grains. Struck off center, a typical feature for this die pairing, the upper left design elements on both the obverse and reverse are off the flan. Areas of softness due to uneven wear are also noted for the upper left obverse and upper right reverse. For those features that are present we note generally bold Fine detail, the surfaces smooth in hand and attractively original in dove-gray patina. All in all, an appealing circulated example of both the type and die marriage. PCGS# 24. NGC ID: 2ARZ.
