1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling AU53 PCGS. Noe-11, Crosb
<B>1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling AU53 PCGS.</B></I> Noe-11, Crosby 6b-E2, R.6. A remarkable example of Noe-11, superior to any of three Boyd/Ford specimens in both sharpness and overall quality. In its appearance in the Hain Family auction, the present piece was described as "One of the Finest Seen", and "far finer than Norweb:1168, Oechsner:933, NN 60th:196." The top of the 1 in the date is soft, perhaps due to a mint strike-through, but the remainder of this battleship-gray example is satiny and smooth. Minor straight mint-made clips affect only the top of IN, with the rest of the legends intact. Thin horizontal lines across the upper portion of the tree are from the die, and are characteristic of Noe-11. Listed on page 37 of the 2007 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><I>Ex: Spink & Son (London); Vlack Collection; Hain Family Collection (Stack's, 1/02), lot 37.</B></I><BR><I>From The Troy Wiseman Collection, Part Two.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
