 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.15, Cr.24-N. R-5. 67.2 gns. Very Fine. An attractive specimen in better than average condition for an N.15. The piece is pale gray in color, with traces of very light iridescent blue showing. It was struck on a much smaller planchet than seen on the piece earlier with the result that some letters on each side run off the flan. On the obverse the tree is full but the tops of ATHVSETS run off the edge. On the reverse the denomination and date are complete but the tops of ENGLAND A run off the edge.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Collection.
