1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree shilling. Noe-29, Salmon 11-F, W-930. Rarity-3. Small Planchet. EF-40 (PCGS).70.9 grains. A picture-perfect type coin and a very pleasing example of this popular variety. Glossy deep gray with light blue and golden iridescence on the choice surfaces. Fairly well centered, just a little off to the left, barely affecting the tops of the legends on both sides. Firmly struck and problem free, a really good-looking example of the issue.From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stacks sale of the Donald Groves Collection, November 1974, lot 296.
