N.15, Cr.24-N EF $7,500.00 R-5. 69.8 gns. Extremely Fine. The Noe Plate Coin. An outstanding example of a variety that rarely comes so well preserved. Hain's best was a VF as was Picker's. Joe Lasser's coin shown at the 1991 ANS COAC exhibition was an exceptional AU coin. This is a lovely example with rich even toning in a shade of deep gray on both sides. On the front the tree is complete and fairly sharp given...  more 107 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.15, Cr.24-N EF $5,500.00 R-5. 70.3 gns. Extremely Fine. An important specimen for its grade, higher than usually found. Both the obverse and reverse are toned in light silver gray with traces of iridescent blue and rose. Struck from a later state of the reverse than seen on the Noe plate coin, die failing on the right side quite pronouncedly, causing considerable loss of definition at the upper left on the...  more 108 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.15, Cr.24-N VF $5,250.00 R-5. 67.2 gns. Very Fine. An attractive specimen in better than average condition for an N.15. The piece is pale gray in color, with traces of very light iridescent blue showing. It was struck on a much smaller planchet than seen on the piece earlier with the result that some letters on each side run off the flan. On the obverse the tree is full but the tops of ATHVSETS run off the...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Noe Plate Coin. The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. An outstanding example, one of the finest seen. Picker's and Oechsner's were both VF and the best of Stearns' seven was graded EF. The finest seen is the Hain coin and this is not far behind that one. The obverse and reverse are light gray with some iridescent gold showing. The front is about...  more 110 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.16, Cr.21-L CH AU $22,000.00 R-2. 72.3 gns. Choice About Uncirculated. A second lovely specimen of this variety. This is a sharp example and one that could almost be used as a textbook illustration of a Massachusetts small planchet Pine Tree shilling. Both sides are rich gray in color with a very delicate hint of pale blue iridescence. The surfaces suggest some mint frost still remaining on both sides, the reverse...  more 111 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.16, Cr.21-L CH EF $15,000.00 R-2. 766.2 gns. Choice Extremely Fine. A high grade example of a variety that is challenging in VF condition. Both the obverse and reverse of this piece are toned in spectacular iridescent gold and pale blue shades. The piece has some suggestive hints of original mint frost particularly on the obverse. The tree is sharp and bold, the inner beaded border is complete and all the letters...  more 112 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.16, Cr.21-L EF $10,000.00 R-2. 70.6 gns. Extremely Fine. Much nicer than usually seen. Both sides are pale silver gray in color with a very delicate wash of iridescent gold and one area of bright blue at the upper right of the reverse. On the front the tree is sharp and the letters in the legend around are bold and complete. The outer beaded border is nearly fully present save at the very top. On the reverse...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. A pleasing specimen of a variety usually found EF or lower. Toned in that rich Harvard gray that some nice Massachusetts silver coins take on over time. Both sides are a nice even shade of the gray with some traces of pale iridescent blue showing. The surfaces are a little rough in appearance. On the front the...  more 114 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.17, Cr.22-L EF $12,000.00 R-3. 70.2 gns. Extremely Fine. The Noe Plate Coin. A better than average example of an N.17. A very attractive example with remarkable toning. The obverse is pale blue in the center while the outer border is toned in light gold. The reverse is a spectacular iridescent blue in the center fading off into light russet and gold around the rim. The fields are a little bright in color particularly...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. A superior specimen and one of the finest seen, in the same class as Hain's and far superior to Norweb's. Both sides of this piece are pale steel gray in color. The front is a little off center to the lower right leaving a lip of extra metal showing at the left. The letters in the legend are fully on the flan,...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Hain Family coins were VF's as was Stearns' and Norweb's. Roper's EF was exceptional for the variety, as this one is. The obverse is mostly pale rose with a touch of iridescent blue around the lower periphery and at left while the reverse is nearly completely iridescent blue with a trace of pale rose and gold here and there....  more 117 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.19, Cr.20-L VF $11,000.00 R-5. 65.6 gns. Very Fine. The Noe Plate Coin. Both the obverse and reverse of this piece are deeply toned in a silver gray shade. The front is a little off center to the upper left with the outer beaded border missing there but the peripheral legend and tree are sharp and bold. On the reverse the piece is a little off center to the upper right but all the letters in the legend around...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

The Wurtzbach Plate Coin. A magnificent specimen and the finest seen by the cataloguer. Better than Hain's VF ex Stearns, Norweb's VF, the Boyd duplicate VF offered in the next lot, and a Choice Fine in a New England collection. The ANS coin ex Wurtzbach exhibited in 1991 does not compare to this, either. Both sides are toned in...  more 119 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.20, Cr.18-L VF $5,500.00 R-7. 70.5 gns. Very Fine. A very nice example of this very rare variety. The obverse and reverse are both pale silver gray in color with a touch of light blue. The obverse is slightly off center to the top with THVSE running off the flan. The tree is sharp for the grade awarded the piece. The reverse is much better centered as expected and all design details can fully be seen save...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

A solidly collectable example of this very scarce variety, about on a par with the second Hain coin and Norweb's piece. Both sides are lightly toned in pale gray, iridescent gold and deep blue shades. The obverse is about perfectly centered with a fairly sharp tree, full root structure and all the letters in the peripheral legend fully legible, just...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The John J.

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.

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 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.

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.
