1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet
<B>1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet MS61 NGC.</B></I> Noe-2, Crosby 4-F, R.5. 70.4 grains. The "Straight Branches" variety (labeled by NGC as the 'N' Reversed variety, which is not totally incorrect since the N below the tree is indeed reversed) is also included under the No Pellets type. The obverse displays a stiff, upward-pointing tree, unlike any other Pine Tree Shilling die pairing. Like many of its kind, this piece exhibits multiple planchet clips, but these do not obliterate an appreciable amount of the peripheral lettering. The surfaces are a pleasing, natural gunmetal-gray and just a hint of waviness is seen in the flan.
