1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. The Straight Tree. Noe 2. Uncirculated. 72.8 grains. Here is a dazzling Condition Census example of this No Pellets type with its small tree showing straight, upthrust boughs. Subtle tawny red-gold toning enriches a truly extraordinary strike. The reverse is especially boldly struck and overall this breath-taking Massachusetts Silver coin is finer than the Hain and Roper examples of its variety. NGC MS61.
