Description
Handsome AU Noe-10 Pine Tree Shilling
1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe-10, Salmon 8-Diii, W-750. Rarity-3. Without Pellets at Trunk, Reversed Ns. AU-50 (PCGS).
69.9 grains. A particularly desirable example for its full, crisp tree and richly original surfaces dressed in bold russet-gray patina. The date and denomination at central reverse are also sharp, but the coin is struck on an irregular planchet that has left the lower left obverse and lower right reverse soft with only faint detail to the letters and inner border beads in those areas. As well, the edge is flush with or through the tops of the letters from 12 to 4 o'clock on the obverse, 9 to 1 o'clock on the reverse. Some good gloss joins subtle powder blue highlight; both sides are impressively smooth during in hand viewing. A few ancient, extremely faint pin scratches are well blended into the toning below the Roman numeral X in the denomination - they require magnification to discern. Similar die state to the primary Syd Martin coin offered in our August 2023 Global Showcase Auction as PCGS AU-58, with the familiar bird's nest break in the middle of the tree's branches at right well developed. A noteworthy second opportunity to acquire an uncommonly well preserved Noe-10 Large Planchet Pine Tree from this remarkable cabinet.
PCGS# 897855. BASE PCGS# 45372. NGC ID: 2ARX.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 3, 2006.
