ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4420 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 12:12 pm Glad to see that this will be resolved to your satisfaction. To my experience, the "rare coin lottery" far out distances the state lottery. Better luck next time! Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 12:21 pm Now that it's been retuned (in its original state), lets keep an eye out to see if it shows up again in a new listing as an "estate sale" find. Report this Post to the Staff
Historyfan Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 1:10 pm Looks like an old reproduction to me. I believe it was coated with some type of lacquer or something. If I work it enough with my fingernail in the area of the silver colored section just where it starts to turn dark, I can actually wear it down to the base metal. I didn't want to do anything more to it. I wanted to keep it pretty much the same, as I received it. I did send it back just moments ago. This one was quite the educational experience I must have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 10:25 pm Here are images of a Noe 29 that I handled earlier this year. Aside from specific die markers, these are typically known to have grain weights within a specific range and tolerance that can be verified quickly. Report this Post to the Staff

judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 11:42 pm I owned the Noe 29 briefly. It was passed on to a notable dealer in Colonial issues. It graded VF-30 at PCGS after I sold it. Report this Post to the Staff
Historyfan Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 08/19/2012 11:48 pm My quest is to continue looking for that Oak, Willow, or Pine shilling. I'm also looking to get a VF Newbie St. Patty farthing. With those in my posession will just about complete my Colonial collection. Talk about leaving likely the most desired (IMHO) coins for last!
