1652 SHILNG Willow Tree Shilling -- Double Struck -- VF20 PCGS. Noe 3-D, W-190, Salmon 3-D, R.7. 67.43 gn. PCGS designates the coin as "double struck" but that is usual for the Willow Tree series. The double strike is apparent on the upper inner beaded circle, above the date. The VF20 third party grade is a compromise between the peripheral legends, which intermittently exhibit XF definition, and the soft impression on the date and willow tree. When the coin is in hand and tilted, though, a substantial portion of the tree's base and branches emerge. The dove-gray surfaces are problem-free and well centered.
Heritage catalogers compiled a roster of known Noe 3-D Willow Tree shillings for lot 5522 of the Donald Groves Partrick Collection. The present coin is #6 on that roster, pedigreed to such illustrious collectors as Waldo C. Newcomer, Col. Green, F.C.C. Boyd, and John J. Ford, Jr. It is plate #20 in the 1943 Sydney P. Noe standard reference. Listed on page 40 of the 2017 Guide Book.
Ex: Waldo C. Newcomer; Col. Green; F.C.C. Boyd; John J. Ford, Jr.; Philip Benedetti; Gore Collection; Kensington Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 12/1975), lot 216.
