<B>1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet MS62 NGC.</B></I> No pellets at trunk. Noe-2, Crosby 4-F, R.5. 74.4 grains. The distinctive "Straight Tree" variety. Attractively toned in light to medium orange-red, green-gold, and navy-blue shades. The strike is even and pleasing, since all legends and devices are sharp. A few mint-made straight clips affect the tops of a few letters, although most letters are complete, and all are at least half present. A silver-white freckle accompanies the lowest right branch, and a small number of thin marks are southwest of the tree. Remarkable quality overall for a Large Planchet Shilling, which is probably the most economically significant Colonial American issue. Listed on page 37 of the 2007 <I>Guide Book.</B></I> Census: 5 in 62, 1 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
