Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1		1652 Oak Tree Shilling. . Noe-1.5 Rarity-7. PCGS graded VF-30. Noe-1.5 is an extrtemely rare late die state for the Noe-1 variety. Both dies are now rusted, especially the reverse. Glossy medium gray with darker gray toning in protected areas. No notable signs of contact, but there are some small planchet chips at the edges affecting parts of the legend. The oak tree is nearly complete and the legends are easily readable except for LAND at the bottom of the reverse. The date and denomination are bold. Weight listed as 68.80 grains on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $2,000 - 4,000. Ex 1976 ANA Sale, Stack's 8/24/76:3. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,025
Lot 2		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling IN at bottom. . Noe 5 Rarity-2. NGC graded MS-61. Glossy dark grayish steel with lighter gray toning on the highpoints. No planchet flaws and the planchet is almost perfectly round. The only marks are some very fine abrasions on the unstruck portion of the planchet at the top of the obverse where the die edge (sometimes looks like a cud break) was carefully smoothed down, possibly prior to release from the mint. The obverse is slightly off center to the bottom, as always, but the centering is better than normal with only a few letters of the legend slipping very slightly off the edge. The reverse is better positioned on the planchet and everything is complete. An outstanding example, certainly one of the finest known. Superior to the Hain examples and comparable to either of the Ford pieces. Weight listed as 66.4 grains on the NGC label. Estimated Value $4,000 - 8,000. Ex Fred Baldwin 1958-Norweb collection, Bowers & Merena 10/12/87:1161. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling. . Noe-9 Rarity-5. NGC graded VF-30. Glossy medium silvery gray with darker gray toning in protected areas. Microscopic roughness shows in protected areas; otherwise this example is free of defects. The obverse is perfectly centered while the reverse is off center a bit to the top leaving the tops of ENGLA tight to the rim. The remainder of the legend is complete and strong. A premium example for the grade. Weight listed as 64.6 grains on the NGC label. Estimated Value $2,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,830
Lot 4		1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Twopence Small 2. . Noe-31 Rarity-6+. NGC graded AU-58. Frosty light silvery gray with bluish steel and medium gray overtones. No defects other than traces of very shallow dirt in a few protected areas. Only a touch of friction from mint state. The obverse is struck off center to the bottom, as usual, but the tree is complete and strong. The reverse is perfectly centered on this tiny planchet. Weight listed as 10.8 grains on the NGC label. Estimated Value $4,000 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5		1652 Wyatt Copy of Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling. MS-60. Frosty light silvery gray. No defects, essentially as struck by Thomas Wyatt of New York circa 1850-1860 using hand-made copy dies. Listed by Kenney as his #3. The obverse legend is partially off the planchet while the reverse is tight all around but essentially complete. Weight 37.8 grains. Estimated Value $25 - 50. Ex Dr. Charles L. Ruby, Superior 2/11/74:171. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $460
Lot 6		1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large planchet. . Noe-8 Rarity-3. NGC graded MS-63. Variety with a fancy top on the 5 in the date. Frosty light silvery gray with darker bluish steel gray toning in protected areas. Very well centered on a large, round planchet that was not clipped or mistreated in any way. The planchet is slightly wavy, as always thanks to the rocker press used to strike these pieces. Every element of the design is contained on the planchet, which is extremely unusual. Later die state with several areas of crumbling on the reverse. The best identifying mark on this piece is a tiny depression in the planchet near the rim at the top of the obverse. Certainly one of the finest examples of this popular early colonial issue. Weight listed on the NGC label as 70.96 grains. Estimated Value $20,000 - 40,000. Ex F. C. C. Boyd-John J. Ford, Jr. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 7		1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large planchet. . Noe-10 Rarity-3. PCGS graded VF-20. Glossy medium to darker gray with slightly lighter silvery gray highpoints. Most of the pine tree is clear but portions are gone due to uneven wear. Parts of the legend are gone as well while other areas are quite strong, again a result of the delicate waves in the planchet caused by the rocker press. The date and denomination are bold, and the two reversed N's in the legend are strong. Late die state. Weight listed as 69.90 grains on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $1,250 - 2,500. Ex Dr. Charles L. Ruby, Superior 2/11/74:7. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300

Glossy dark steel gray with lighter silvery gray highpoints, the contrast accenting the details and adding to the eye appeal. The pine tree is bold and the legends are clear except for weakness at the right edge of the obverse and left side of the reverse. All the N's in the legend are backwards, and the H is missing in MASATVSETS. Weight 69.8 grains. Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725

Lot 11		1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small planchet. . Noe-29 Rarity-3. PCGS graded VF-30. Glossy dark steel gray with lighter silvery gray highpoints.

Attractive glossy light silvery gray with darker bluish steel gray toning in protected areas. No marks or planchet flaws, only light, even wear on both sides. The obverse is much better centered on the planchet than the more common Noe-33 variety, although it is still a bit off to the top leaving the upper half of THVS off the planchet. The reverse is well centered with the tops of only a few letters off the planchet or tight to the edge. The pellets beside the tree trunk are clear. Weight recorded as 35.2 grains prior to slabbing, but the weight is not shown on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $2,500 - 5,000. Ex Superior 12/11/72:1352. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,290

Ten points sharper but there are several small, dull dents or nicks on both sides, one under the tree and a half dozen scattered about the reverse. None of these marks is distracting but there are too many to ignore at this grade level. Otherwise the surfaces and eye appeal of this example are excellent. Sharply detailed with complete legends. The obverse is off center a bit to the bottom causing a couple letters to be tight to the edge, but the reverse is perfectly centered. Later die state showing a strong cud break over the AS in MASATHVSETS. Weight 16.1 grains. A desirable example of this seldom offered denomination. Estimated Value $1,500 - 3,000.

Glossy light brown, once delicately cleaned leaving a hint of lighter coppery toning on both sides. The brass splasher is large and bright. No roughness or marks, just worn.

Lot 31		1786 New Jersey. . Maris 14-J Rarity-1. PCGS graded AU-50. The PCGS label says this is a "narrow shield" type, but the shield is of medium size and is not outlined.

The reverse is choice and grades at least VF20. The 8 in the date is weak due to the planchet chips but everything else is complete and clear. Intermediate die state. Weight 162.3 grains. Estimated Value $100 - 200. Ex Don Valenziano 3/2/89. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299

Lot 35		1786 New Jersey. . Maris 23-R Rarity-3. Fine-15 Plus. Small head with narrow shield. Attractive glossy chocolate brown with medium brown highpoints. The obverse is choice and grades a solid VF20 while the reverse is decent but does have a fine hairline scratch down the left side of the shield and some fine verdigris around the small star left of UNUM. The date and legends are complete and strong. Weight 144.4 grains. Estimated Value $150 - 300. Ex Don Valenziano 3/2/89. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $460
Lot 36		1787 New Jersey. . Maris 34-J Rarity-2. Fine-12 Struck over Connecticut copper. Deer head type. Glossy medium brown with some light olive toning in protected areas of the obverse. No notable defects. Excellent eye appeal for the grade. The date and obverse details are complete and strong but the reverse details are blunted a bit by the Connecticut undertype, which is obvious on both sides. In fact, the planchet is egg-shaped and offers an excellent example of how previously struck coppers were "recycled" during the early years of our coinage. Weight 148.8 grains. Estimated Value $150 - 300. Ex Tony Carlotto 4/89. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518
Lot 37		1787 New Jersey. . Maris 39-a Rarity-2. Fine-12. Small head with outlined shield. Sharpness VF30 but bent with a dull dent on the horse and a scuff on the rim over AR in CAESAREA.

Lot 43		1787 New Jersey. . Maris 63-q Rarity-1. Fine-12. Slightly sharper but there is a dull, light scratch or arcing depression in the field below NOVA. Otherwise this piece is choice.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518
Lot 47		1785 Vermont. . Ryder-2 Rarity-2. VF-35 VERMONTS Landscape type. Sharpness AU50 with very little if any wear but there is fine granularity covering both sides, probably as struck. In addition, there are a few small diagonal planchet fissures on the obverse and a patch of pre-striking roughness that obliterates the E in VERMONTS and the opposing A in DECIMA. No verdigris or contact marks. Slightly glossy medium brown and chocolate with olive brown toning in protected areas. Intermediate die state with a clear die crack from the plow down through the 8 in the date to the rim below.

Lot 48		1785 Vermont. . Ryder-2 Rarity-2. PCGS graded Fine-15 VERMONTS Landscape type. Glossy medium brown with chocolate toning in protected areas. Smooth, attractive surfaces. No contact marks or corrosion. The only mark is a shallow planchet lamination or fissure near the rim below the plow handles. Unevenly struck leaving the date and VE in VERMONTS missing. The reverse is more evenly struck, only the A in DECIMA gone from that side. The missing date, unfortunately, is a significant detractor from an otherwise choice example for the grade.

Lot 49		1787 Vermont. . Ryder-13 Rarity-1. VF-35 Britannia Reverse Type. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with specks of darker olive toning in a few of the most-protected areas. There are traces of microscopic roughness on both sides, but the surfaces are mostly smooth and the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade.
