1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at Bottom Noe-4 Rarity-4 PCGS Genuine, AU details, Tooled. Very attractive frosty light to medium gray with lighter silver toning on the highpoints. Looks flawless to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals microscopic pin scratches in many of the protected areas, particularly on the reverse. There must have been some clipping done as well since portions of the legend are off the planchet, which is light at 43.8 grains. However, the devices that remain on the planchet are sharp, clearly sharper than any of the 3 Ford examples of the variety. The Oak Tree is especially bold. An impressive Oak Tree Shilling in spite of the imperfections. Listed on page 39 in the "Redbook." Estimated Value $3,000 - UP
