 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Oak Tree Shilling. N.11, Cr.6b-E2. R-6. 70.3 gns. Very Fine. Light silver gray in color on both sides. Typical sharpness on the tree, the branches, trunk and roots here fully legible but soft on their high portions. Letters in the peripheral legend on this side soft at bottom and lower left as usual. Reverse a little soft in the center, letters in the legend from 12:00 through 7:00 soft. Well centered on both sides. Planchet flaw on the obverse in the central right field; reverse shallow planchet flaw in the central left field. Usually seen die states, the reverse broken through the bases of NEW.
