Recent appearances:
"XF-40 Old Cleaning" (illustrated above).  Ex - Dr. Joseph M. Seventko - Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc.'s "Atlanta 2001 ANA" Signature Sale, August 8-11, 2001, Lot 5004, illustrated, "66.2 grains.  Bent and straightened at the bottom of each side..."

"Fine" (illustrated below).  Ex - Early American Numismatics, Inc., Mail Bid Sale April 21, 2001, Lot 1022, where it was described as follows: "1652 MA "Oak Tree" Shilling, Noe 13, Fine.  48.9 grains. Rarity 6 (Very Rare). This piece is nice, round and flat, but the low weight indicates that the edges have been clipped at some time in the past. The Oak Tree is quite bold, but some of the legends are weak. Similarly, the date and denomination are strong, while the peripheral areas are soft. Both sides have toned to an even, medium gray color that is quite attractive. The low weight will make this an affordable example of this rare variety, which we have not had the pleasure of offering since 1997."
