Oak Tree Sixpence. The Serpent Roots variety. Noe 19
|
CH VF |
$4,000.00 |
Choice Very Fine. 46.1 gns. Good, medium gray centers, deeper gray around the peripheries. Softly struck in the centers. The variety takes its name from the sinuous appearance of the tree's roots. Extremely rare: the cataloguer knows of only four examples of this copy: this, ANS, private collection, Norweb:1176. Crosby had his doubts about the authenticity of the variety but listed it... more |

''1650'' Pine Tree Shilling. Noe A(2), Crosby p.63, fig. 20
|
EAM |
$5,000.00 |
Essentially as made. 72.7 gns. The Noe Plate Coin. Lovely, rich silver gray color with iridescent toning on both sides. Dated 1650, two years before the coinage was authorized. Unique. This and its cousins have an interesting history that Crosby told in detail on pp. 63-67 of Early Coins. When Woodward sold it in 1867 he described it in hopeful terms as ''Very few Pine Tree Shillings... more |

''1650'' Pine Tree Shilling. Noe B, Crosby p.63, fig. 21
|
EAM |
$4,500.00 |
Essentially as made. 76.9 gns. The Noe Plate Coin. Nice, medium coin silver gray in color. Dig in the right obverse field, die swellings in center of reverse. Unique. Dated two years before the coinage was authorized. This was not in the Mickley or Parmelee sales but was part of the Getchell-Brown 1854 deal. The piece is better made than the preceding and perhaps was meant to be the... more |

''1650'' Pine Tree Shilling. Noe C.
|
CH VF |
$4,250.00 |
Choice Very Fine in appearance. 57.0 gns. The Noe Plate Coin. Rich, deep silver gray with some faint rose iridescence. Some scratches. Unique. Dated two years before the coinage was authorized. This piece was described by Crosby on p.64. It is a third from the Getchell-Brown 1854 transaction. As Noe notes, the last numeral in the date is a 0 and not a misshapen 2. Why the copier decided... more |

Pine Tree Shilling. The Cogwheel Pattern. Noe D, Crosby 10-P, Wuertzbach 46
|
CH EF |
$5,000.00 |
Choice Extremely Fine. 74.6 gns. The Noe Plate Coin. Probably the Crosby II, 4 Plate Coin. Probably the Wuertzbach Plate Coin. Lovely, even coin silver gray with some pale blue iridescence. Extremely rare: the cataloguer knows of only two of these, the other being the Parmelee:336 coin. The Crosby illustration is not well detailed enough to be sure this is that coin but the likelihood... more |

Pine Tree Shilling. Struck in bronze. Noe E.
|
VG to F |
$3,000.00 |
Appearance of Very Good to Fine. 107.3 gns. The Noe Plate Coin. Deep brown obverse, somewhat lighter on the back. Clearly mis-struck and on a somewhat misshapen flan. Unique: the cataloguer knows of no other at this time. The die work is a bit crude but its lack of skill lends a certain verisimilitude to the variety. The date numerals are especially large and distinctive. |

|
VG to F |
$3,250.00 |
Appearance of Very Good to Fine. 70.7 gns. The Noe Plate Coin. Medium coin silver gray in color. Planchet somewhat misshapen. Letter styles curious naive, S's on obverse backward. Very rare: the cataloguer has seen only this and the next. |

|
VG to F |
$3,250.00 |
Appearance of Very Good to Fine. 70.6 gns. Lighter silver gray in color than the first. Better sharpness in places than the Noe plate coin. Very rare: the cataloguer has seen only this and the preceding. |

1665 New England Shilling. Newman NF.
|
EF |
$3,000.00 |
Extremely Fine. 80.2 gns. The Newman Plate Coin. Nice, deep coin silver gray in color. Extremely rare: the cataloguer has never seen another of these. The legend presumably expands to something like ''Colony of Massachusetts in New England''. Newman reports this copy in copper also. Like the Noe A-C copies, this also seems to trace its roots back to New Hampshire, home of other celebrated... more |

1662 Oak Tree Penny

AM |
$3,200.00 |
Altered from an Oak Tree 2d. Crosby, p. 74, Newman, pp. 229-230. About as made. 10.4 gns. The Newman Plate Coin. Nice, rich silver gray with lovely iridescence. Unique: the cataloguer knows of no other at this time. The maker simply altered the reverse to create a denomination that was never authorized. Woodward described it in the Mickley sale as ''This piece was purchased by Mr. Mickley... more |

EAM |
$40,000.00 |
exhibited at the 1914 ANS Exhibition. Essentially as made. 73.5 gns. 26.1 mm. Reverse die aligned at 275 degrees. Deep silver gray color on both sides. Obverse well centered, soft at top and right; reverse off center to the upper right, soft at top due to advanced die failure across the top quarter. Undoubtedly unique given the state of the reverse and the fact that no other original (i.e.,... more |
