N.23, Cr.16-M VF $8,000.00 R-6+. 71.0 gns. Very Fine. The Noe Plate Coin. A thoroughly collectable example of this very scarce variety. Hain had two, both VF, one ex Norweb. Picker also had a VF. Roper and Oechsner lacked the variety and there wasn't one in the NN trio (48th, 59th and 60th) or the 1970 MHS sale. Both the obverse and reverse are light steel gray in color. The front was about perfectly centered...  more 122 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.23, Cr.16-M VF $4,500.00 R-6+. 72.2 gns. Very Fine. A second example of this very scarce variety. Both sides of this piece are toned in a deep steel gray color. The base of the obverse is quite rough in appearance as if it were not struck up, almost certainly the result of the severely broken state of this die. The reverse shows a corresponding lack of definition below the denomination engaging the inner beaded...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. An exceptional rarity in the series which the cataloguer suggests is an R-7+ with just a small handful surviving. He has seen only four of these. The Norweb-Hain coin at Choice VF is still the finest seen while this coin, the ANS piece, and one in a New England collection are all close behind. Both the obverse...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. A lovely example. The obverse is bright silver gray while the reverse is a little darker shade with some hints of rose and iridescent gold. The center of the obverse was fairly sharply struck with just light softness visible at the base of the trunk of the tree and along the ground line. The root structure...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Noe Plate Coin. The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. An outstanding example and one of the finest seen, finer than Hain's two (''N.26.2s''), Stearns', Norweb's, Picker's, Roper's, the 1970 MHS coins (one misdescribed as the Noe plate coin) and the VF in NN's 60th Sale. Technically not as nice as the next but a whole coin and not an error. Both sides...  more 126 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.26, Cr.15-O AU $32,500.00 R-5. 71.3 gns. About Uncirculated. A remarkable error Noe 26 like the Norman Stack coin shown at the 1991 ANS exhibition. The obverse is toned in light silver gray with iridescent gold and pale blue while the reverse is a more even medium silver gray in color. Sharply double struck somewhat off center to the extreme right, the coin having rotated nearly 180 degrees from the first to...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. A high grade specimen of this very scarce variety. The cataloguer has records of only eight of these, the best being an EF in a New England collection and the Choice piece shown by Joe Lasser at the 1991 ANS COAC exhibition. This piece is as good as anything that has been on the public market since the...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

An exceptional specimen and definitely one of the two nicest ever seen by the cataloguer (the other being the Eliasberg-Hain coin). Both sides of this piece are toned in pale gray, light gold and delicate iridescent blue.

On the reverse the denomination and...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

Outstanding condition for one of these very scarce Spiny Tree Sixpences. Hain's was only Fine. Garrett's and Norweb's were both EF and the best one in Stearns was called AU at the time.
