 1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. N.30, Cr.13-S. R-3. 71.2 gns. Choice Very Fine. Both sides are nice medium silver gray in color. The obverse surface is a little rough in appearance. The tree is full, the inner beaded border is complete and there are some signs of the root structure remaining but the peripheral legend around is not only tight on the flan at left and right but is entirely missing at the top. On the reverse, also due to the off centering, the peripheral legend is missing at the top but the denomination and date are complete as is the inner beaded border of dots.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Collection.
