"1652" Pine Tree Shilling. Struck Copy. Noe-E. Bronze. Fine Details--Damage (PCGS).
107.3 grains. Deep golden-brown on obverse and reverse. Clearly mis-struck, and on a somewhat misshapen flan. Unique : we know of no others at this time. The die work is a bit crude, but its lack of skill lends a certain verisimilitude to the variety. The digits in the date are especially large and distinctive, as is the ENGLAD misspelling on the reverse. A fleeting opportunity for the advanced specialist.
PCGS# 916216.
