1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet, XF45 NGC. CAC. Noe-22, W-870, Salmon 8-B, R.6. 69.5 grains. Ex: Norweb, Donald G. Partrick Collection. Exemplary reverse centering is seen on this gunmetal-gray shilling. The tree, date, and denomination are bold. Several letters in MASATHVSETS are partial, but all remain legible. An early die state, it lacks the break that usually joins the GL in ENGLAND. Nonetheless, cracks and breaks are prominent at D AN and across the top of the E in NEW. This example is tied for the finest in our records, along with another Partrick coin, and a third XF45 example that appeared two years ago in the Sundman sale.
Ex: New Netherlands (9/1954); Norweb Collection, Part I (Bowers and Merena, 10/1987), lot 1211; Donald Groves Partrick; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 5595; New York Signature (Heritage, 10/2015), lot 3007.
