Owner Comments:
The Pine Tree Shilling is perhaps the coin most identified with America’s colonial past. It was certainly the most widely produced of the successful Massachusetts silver coinage. This superb gem is the epitome of quality and a perfect representative of this historic issue. Sharply struck on a broad flan, all of its legends are complete. An example of Noe-1, it weighs 75.5 grains. This beauty features smooth, lustrous surfaces and delightful golden toning. Whether preserved by design or by mere chance, this lovely specimen is undoubtedly the finest known of its type.
