2446 1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe 4.5 (R-5). Backwards 'N'. Uncirculated UNC $35,000.00
1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe 4.5 (R-5). Backwards 'N'. Uncirculated. 73.8 grains....
73.8 grains. Here is a coin that has had nearly 350 years to acquire its exquisite blend of majestic silver-gray and golden russet toning. Fully Uncirculated, this specimen boasts the pebbly mint frost associated with high grade Massachusetts silver coins. Well-centered and very well struck everywhere; only some of the denticles are lacking definition, a result of the rocker press technology...  more
2447 Undated (ca. 1659) Maryland Lord Baltimore Shilling AU $13,000.00
Undated (ca. 1659) Maryland Lord Baltimore Shilling. Large head obverse. Shield points left of M on...
Large head obverse. Shield points left of M on reverse. About Uncirculated, with some claims to an even higher grade. Both sides are lightly toned in pale silver gray with some areas darker. The obverse and reverse are both fairly well centered and all the design types and legends are on the flan. The reverse is in its typically late state, with a curving break in the right field and...  more
2448 1766 Pitt Halfpenny VF $110.00

Very Fine in strict terms of wear but the holed and plugged planchet has been hammered above Pitt's head. Light brown with pale red in the protected areas.
2449 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 11.1-E. F $45.00

134.9 grains. Fine in terms of wear but medium brown surfaces are uniformly very porous. Both sides are about 5-10% off-center. A large folded rim burr is noted in the unstruck portion of the obverse.
2450 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. With New York VF $1,300.00
1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. With New York. Plain edge. Very Fine. 167.5 gns. Extremely rare. Softly...
Plain edge. Very Fine. 167.5 gns. Extremely rare. Softly struck in the centers on both sides probably in the hope of prolonging the life of the reverse which is severely broken and would not last much longer without extra care. Light brown on both sides. Some light scratches.
2451 1787 Fugio Cent. K.17-W.2. Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. Rarity-7 VG $3,500.00
1787 Fugio Cent. K.17-W.2. Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. Rarity-7. 153.1 grains. Very Good. Golden brown...
153.1 grains. Very Good. Golden brown and distinctly yellower on the reverse, the surfaces are noticeable porous, with some inherent planchet striae noted at the right obverse. A tiny ping above the first '7' of the date and an ancient scratch at the right reverse will serve to further identify this coin. Condition and surfaces are almost immaterial on this extremely rare variety. Lightning...  more
