1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-30, Salmon 12-G, W-935. Rarity-3. VF-25 (PCGS).
71.14 grains. Appealing dove gray surfaces are evenly toned and free of detracting blemishes. The strike is drawn toward the viewer's left, but it is uneven wear that has resulted in lack of detail along the right obverse and left reverse borders. Otherwise boldly defined, and a perfectly acceptable example that would make a sterling beginning to an early American or Massachusetts Bay Colony silver collection.
PCGS# 24. NGC ID: 2ARZ.
From the Muddy River Collection. Earlier from our Baltimore Auction of June 2014, lot 1076; Scott Mitchell Numismatic Associates.
