1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling XF45 NGC. Noe-6, W-480, Salmon 4-D, R.7. 72.6 grains. This rare variety generally exhibits an advanced die state on the obverse, with portions of the central area displaying a large die clash, as is the case with this Choice XF specimen. Most of the trunk as well as the inner lower left tree branch are impacted as a result. The left portion of the planchet is clipped, as viewed from the obverse, and a planchet flaw appears near the position of the U. The surfaces display creamy gray and gold hues, and the center dot remains clearly visible on this example. Both sides reveal a number of thin marks, but they are largely toned over and blend in with the surface coloration. Ex: Robert A. Vlack; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
