 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe 29. 71.1 gns. Very Fine. Steely gray surfaces on both sides are of a hue not unusual to this variety of Pine Tree Shilling. The tree trunk and reverse center are gently worn to a golden-gray hue. The flan has split in from the edge at the 6:00 position of the obverse, and there are some old fine scratches around that area. As more and more pressure is put on the Large Planchet issues, appealing specimens of Small Planchet Shillings become relatively more affordable.
