1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Oak Tree Shilling. Noe 5
|
EF |
$16,000.00

66.6 gns. Extremely Fine, essentially Choice. Lovely lavender-gray tones fill the fields and grace the high points of the devices, while deeper steel-gray toning fills the furrows in and around the devices and legends on both sides. Here is a stunning coin featuring about average centering for the die variety, with the large blank area at the upper obverse and the bottom portions of... more |

$2,200.00

53.8 gns. Very Good, or a trifle finer. Tree is weak on the obverse, which is as much the effect of wear as it is the effect of a worn and fading obverse die. The coin has been contemporaneously clipped down quite evenly, leaving only the letters 'SATHVSE' on the obverse and cutting off the tops of all letters on the reverse. Reverse is quite boldly defined on this glossy silver-gray... more |

30.9 gns. Very Fine or so, the surfaces are a bit uneven from previous mishandling. In fact, this wafer thin coin was probably bent and straightened in the past, manifesting itself in a wrinkly crack bisecting the obverse. The surfaces are a battleship gray with lighter lavender hues gracing the higher points. This coin is actually unusual in that it is struck on a slightly larger than... more |

1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe 2 (R-5)

$11,000.00

The Straight Tree. 71.4 gns. Choice Extremely Fine, and a simply splendid example. Surfaces are a rich, steely blue and gray tone - exactly the hues that bring out the beauty in these first silver coins struck in the colonies. Fields are glittering with the remains of original mint lustre on both sides, which host a few minor marks from this coin's brief circulation life. Edge is somewhat... more |

The Straight Tree. 64.7 gns. Fine, with less detail in some areas from uneven wear. This coin is slightly wavy, resulting in more advanced wear the upper and lower left obverse. The reverse is bolder, with the tops of some lettering cut off. Noe 2 is known as the Straight Tree for the angular, board straight branches on the obverse pine tree. Here is a charming relic of the Massachusetts... more |

1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe 25 (R-5)

VF |
$3,000.00
|
66.6 gns. Very Fine. Here is a steely gray specimen with heavy infusions of gold and pale lavender toning on both sides. Strike is generally full on a slightly egg-shaped planchet, with a complete tree and boldly defined date; a slight planchet thinness or other irregularity at upper left obverse and corresponding area of the reverse has somewhat weakened the letters in those areas.... more |

1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe 29

$2,600.00
|
71.1 gns. Very Fine. Steely gray surfaces on both sides are of a hue not unusual to this variety of Pine Tree Shilling. The tree trunk and reverse center are gently worn to a golden-gray hue. The flan has split in from the edge at the 6:00 position of the obverse, and there are some old fine scratches around that area. As more and more pressure is put on the Large Planchet issues, appealing... more |

1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Threepence. Noe 34

F |
$1,900.00
|
16.3 gns. Fine. Silver-gray with tinges of light gold, this specimen exhibits microscopically granular surfaces. There are some areas of uneven wear on both sides, which is most likely the result of a slight wave or bend in the planchet that is common to these early New England issues. The Noe 34 variety is easily recognized by the pair of pellets flanking the Pine Tree's trunk. Pine... more |
