1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling--Scratched,
<B>1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling--Scratched, Planchet Flaw--NCS. VG Details.</B></I> IN at bottom. Noe-9, Crosby 4-C, R.5. 64.4 grains. Struck on a rocker press, as were the Willow Tree pieces that preceded the Oak Tree coinage. This accounts for the bands of weak details seen on each side. But as can be seen from the details grade this piece also saw heavy usage in the channels of commerce in 17th century America. A long, deep planchet flaw is located between 7 and 9 o'clock on the obverse, and shallow, crisscrossing scratches are on both obverse and reverse. Light to medium gray toning. Listed on page 37 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book</B></I>.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
