1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet
<B>1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet AU55 PCGS.</B></I> Noe-8.2, Crosby 1b-D, R.6. 72.5 grains, more heavy than either of the two Hain Family examples of the variety. This is a lovely cream-gray and sky-blue representative with a sharp tree and clear legends. A light S-wave is characteristic of the series, and mint-made edge flaws at 1 and 6 o'clock affect portions of a couple of letters. <BR> Noe-8.2 is one of the intermediate die states originally assigned by Richard Picker during the 1970s. Surprisingly, the die state is not directly attributed by the prominent die break beneath the GL in ENGLAND, which is seen on later (but not early) examples of Noe-8. Rather, Noe-8.2 is identified by the absence of beads beneath the second S in MASATHVSETS. These beads were present on the die, but did not strike up because of the looming break opposite beneath GL. 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>)
