1652 Pine Tree Shilling, MS63
Noe-10 Large Planchet
No Pellets, Reversed N
1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet, No Pellets, Reversed N,
Noe-10, W-750, Salmon 8-Diii, R.3, MS63 PCGS. 73.3 grains.
Steel-blue and sunrise yellow coloration coat surfaces that are
largely unabraded, save for an old mark southeast of the Pine Tree.
The stretched out nature of the HVS on the obverse is an artifact
of the rocker press employed for the coinage of this issue. Slight
rim flattening above that H also suggests a minor clip, common
among these issues to ensure proper weight.The Pine Tree shilling is the third of three tree varieties of Massachusetts coinage, and the first of two Planchet sizes of the Pine Tree type. There are 11 major varieties and 16 die marriages total. The present Large Planchet, No Pellets, Reversed N variety covers two different Noe die marriages: Noe-9 and Noe-10. The present Noe-10 sports a significantly reengraved Pine Tree compared to Noe-9, and is significantly more available than the earlier die state. Listed on page 9 of the 2026 Guide Book.
