1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Large Planchet. Noe-11, Salmon 9-F, W-760. Rarity-4. No H in MASATVSETS. VG Details--Damage (PCGS).48.88 grains. Uniform clipping to the edge has maintained a pleasant shape to the planchet, and its modern weight is considerably closer to a sixpence than a shilling. A couple old indentations punctuate the upper obverse field, though these are only minimally impactful in-hand. The surrounding legend is largely absent from clipping or circulation, but the tree stands decidedly bold at center. The reverse is uniformly soft but still discernible. A circular mark hovers in the field above the 2 of the date, while a thin scrape passes through the 5. Rather pleasing in light of the stated abrasions and worthy of close inspection.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
