68.8 grains. Very Fine to Extremely Fine. Light gray tones are joined by hints of gold on this glossy surfaced Large Planchet Pine Tree Shilling.

69.4 grains. Very Fine, or better. Olive-gold and golden rose toning beautify this steel gray specimen's surfaces on both sides. Due to the small size of the flan, the tops of some letters are cut off on both sides of this generally well struck and appealing coin. |

$2,000.00

70.7 grains. Very Fine. Obverse is a combination of light gray with areas of darker gray toning, while the reverse is a deep graphite gray with silver gray highlighting the legends and beading. This charming little product of the Boston mint was struck slightly off center on a constricted flan, causing about 40% of the obverse legends, and about 30% of the reverse legends to be absent. |

Perfectly toned in a rich silver gray hue, this well centered specimen is missing the tops of much of the legends as a result of dies that were too large for the intended planchets.
