Header: Lustrous AU 1652 Pine Tree Shilling
Large Planchet, LDS
Description: 72.5 grains. A lustrous steel-gray specimen with royal blue and gold overtones. Evenly centered, rim away from all legends, planchet clip at noon relative to the obverse, planchet flaw, as struck, at 7 o’clock same side. No extraneous marks are present to the unassisted eye, and a glass yields pretty much the same results. Slight bend to the planchet the result of the rocker press. Struck from a late state of the reverse die equivalent to that seen at Ford:85, 86 (Stack’s October 2005), with raised die rust “islands” within the inner circle. Late reverse die state. Choice for the grade and an exceptional piece for advanced cabinet or type purposes alike.
