 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.29, Cr.14-R. R-3. 71.0 gns. Choice Very Fine. A nice little example. The obverse and reverse are both toned in a good silver gray shade while the reverse shows some iridescent rose principally in the center. On the obverse the tree and inner beaded border are complete and the peripheral legend is fully legible if some of the letters run off the edge of the coin. On the reverse the denomination and date are full, the inner beaded border is mostly complete and the peripheral legend is completely legible although the letters at the top run off the flan.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Collection.
