1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet, Crosby 4-F, Noe-2, W-700, Salmon 2-C, R.5, AU50 PCGS. CAC. No pellets at trunk. Sometimes called the "Straight Tree" obverse, the tree has parallel branches that define a diamond shape. This lovely AU example has a slight bend from the rocker press used to strike these silver pieces. Certain aspects of the design are somewhat indistinct from shallow dies that were not deeply engraved, but this piece is well-centered with all of the peripheral legends complete. This specimen exhibits deep steel-blue and pale gold toning on each side, with considerable luster still visible. Minor planchet clips are typical of the Noe-2 variety and probably took place at the time of minting, perhaps as a weight control measure. Listed on page 41 of the 2018 Guide Book.
