1652 Pine Tree Shilling, VF20
Small Planchet
Noe-30, Salmon 12-G

1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet, Noe-30, W-935, Salmon 12-G, R.3, VF20 PCGS. 66.05 grains. There are four frequently encountered Small Planchet Pine Tree shilling varieties: Salmon 2-B is rated R.2, while Salmon 3-B, 11-F, and 12-G are each rated R.3. Those four varieties, including the present 12-G example, are the best choices for colonial type collectors. The Large 6 and long tail on 2 are keys to identifying the variety. Although peripheral weakness is noted on both sides and the reverse is improperly centered, this is an attractive midgrade example of the early Massachusetts silver coinage. The antique gray surfaces of this piece lighten to silver-gray on the raised elements. Listed on page 36 of the 2025 Guide Book.
From The Charles R. Meeker II Collection.
