Lot 470
1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small planchet. PCGS graded EF-40. Nice even grey toning. This is the small planchet variety of the Pine Tree design. Sleek "old silver" patina of medium-deep gray with a little steel blue iridescence at the margins. Curiously, the earliest pine tree coins were minted on the same size planchets as the oak tree pieces. Subsequent issues of the shilling were narrower and thicker to conform to the size of the English coins. A very popular Type struck in Massachusetts Colony. Pop 30; 24 finer (PCGS # 24) .
Estimated Value $4,400 - 4,800.
