Noe 1-A, Salmon 1-B, W-40 variety, considered to be Rarity-6+.

A classic and important issue, the New England series were the very first coins struck in English North America.

And this is an exceptional example of this type with lovely original surfaces, choice coin gray color, a minimum of post minting marks or scratches and unusually bold and complete NE and XII punches. Each of these attributes on its own is unusual to see on one of these coins, to find them all on one piece is something of a numismatic miracle.
