- 1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet XF45 NGC. Noe-16, W-835, Salmon 2-B, R.2. 68.2 grains. This beautifully centered piece exhibits bold detail and only light wear. The fully struck-up letters and almost complete border beading contribute to the strong visual appeal. Salmon provides a lovely description of this obverse, stating, "The branches are more realistic and demonstrate a gentle but greater upward curvature, and are detailed by short spines that project more vertically." While the obverse of this example displays subtle light gray and gold colors, the reverse is more colorful, with shades of gold, orange, pink, green, and blue. A die break is present on that side, extending from the rim near the D in ENGLAND through the upper portion of the A. Although a few hair thin marks appear on the coin, they are not distracting. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,400.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet, No H in MASATVSETS AU53 NGC. Noe-11, W-760, Salmon 9-F, R.4. 73.4 grains. A lovely walnut-brown representative, this coin boasts a consistent strike and an absence of consequential marks. A flan imperfection, near 12 o'clock on each side, is as made. The centering favors the right-side legends, which are complete. Most left-side letters are partial but all of ENGLAND is present. All Ns in the legends are retrograde, evidence of the difficulty faced by an engraver obligated to lay out dies in mirrored form. The colony name is blundered as MASATVSETS, inadvertently omitting the letter H. As usual for Noe-11, design elements near 5 o'clock on the reverse are faint, due to a partially lapped die. Ex: 1952 ANA Sale (New Netherlands, 8/1952), lot 2381; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $16,450.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet, No Pellets at Trunk -- Reverse Graffiti - NGC Details. XF. Noe-10, W-750, Salmon 8-Diii, R.3. 70.8 grains. This is a well-defined example of the moderately scarce Noe variety. It is nicely centered, with peripheral letters complete except for those near 12 o'clock on each side. The die state is fairly early but a small break is present near the center of the tree. The chocolate-brown surfaces are mostly smooth, although a few stray abrasions are present. The planchet is moderately wavy, as made, due to its rocker press origin. The graffiti referred to by NGC is minor, and consists of four unimportant pinscratches beneath the denomination. Ex: C.H. Stearns (Mayflower Coin Auctions, Inc., 12/1966), lot 85; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $3,818.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet MS63 NGC. Noe-8, W-740, Salmon 7-E, R.4. 72.6 grains. Beautifully preserved and strongly centered on both sides, this Select specimen exhibits fantastic visual appeal. Even from a distance, hues of pink, peach, gold, lavender, and light blue can be observed on the lustrous surfaces. Some waviness is seen on the flan, and a couple of tiny rim imperfections are present near 6 o'clock on the obverse. The top of the tree points to the right upright of H, one of the characteristics of this Large Planchet variety. The die state of this example reveals a couple of the beads below the S at 1 o'clock largely absent. Another indication of the late die state is the missing punctuation between the N and M near 6 o'clock. On the reverse, the bottom of the 5 in the date is over the first I of XII. This reverse is known as the "Monogram NE" because the letters NE of NEW are combined, with the last slash in N providing the left frame of the E. A number of die breaks typically appear on the reverse of this variety, as is the case with this example, which also shows one of the most commonly seen breaks at the letters GL. This piece also exhibits a break at OM. Although it has been surmised that the transition between the Oak Tree and Pine Tree series took place in 1667 when the mint contract was renegotiated, there is no conclusive evidence to that point, nor is it known whether one series ended entirely before the next began. There appears to have been overlap to at least some degree between the end of the Oak Tree coinage and the beginning of the Pine Tree pieces, including similarities in some of the tree branches, along with shared reverses. Some have postulated that improvements in the minting process may have driven the design changes. This is simply an elegant coin, certain to elicit excitement among sophisticated collectors of early Massachusetts silver. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $30,550.00.

- 1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet MS64 NGC. Noe-7, W-730, Salmon 6-Dii, R.6. 74.4 grains. Another gorgeous example from Eric P. Newman's fabulous collection, this near-Gem specimen exhibits freshly-struck eye appeal. Lustrous silver surfaces reveal pleasing areas of toning when examined closely. Shades of orange, peach, and pastel green, seen particularly at the upper obverse, add to the attractiveness. The planchet is irregularly shaped, with clips present, primarily at left and right. Portions of the legends are absent as a result, with W ENGLAND affected on the obverse, while the reverse is impacted at the upper portions of VSETS and the I of IN. Salmon's well-stated description of this variety reads in part: {blockquote}"This is a new obverse die, and is not derived from prior varieties. It is often referred to as the 'Tall Tree' variety. The tree is beautifully and realistically rendered with a narrow tapering trunk arising from a ground line that appears to consist entirely of roots which abundantly fill the foreground. There are eight branches per side, arranged asymmetrically with none paired across midline."{/blockquote} The letters near 12 o'clock on the obverse exhibit distortion resulting from the rocker press effects. Recut from the reverse die used for the Salmon 5-Di variety, this reverse displays reworking of the 6 and 5 of the date, along with other more subtle changes. This variety is also known for a slightly diagonal die break extending through the center, as clearly evidenced by this piece. A truly splendid specimen, this coin will make an outstanding addition to an advanced collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $44,062.50.

- 1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet AU58 NGC. Noe-6, W-720, Salmon 5-Di, R.6. 68.0 grains. A wonderfully well struck up example. The planchet of this near-Mint example is almost square. Areas of silver and pewter are revealed on predominantly brown-gray surfaces. The obverse displays nice centering overall, with only tiny portions of the H and V in MASATHVSETS missing. On the reverse, larger portions of AND in ENGLAND are absent. The N of IN is backwards. Scattered planchet flaws appear, primarily at the lower left corner of the obverse. Importantly, the pine tree design exhibits a sharp strike, with even the tree's root structure clearly visible. The few marks appearing do not necessitate individual mention. On this variety, there are eight branches on each side of the tree, arranged symmetrically. Though similar to the 4-D and 4-Di varieties, the secondary branch on the next to lowest branch at right no longer remains connected on the Salmon 5-Di variety and appears to be floating. Another diagnostic of this variety is that the uppermost branch at right is short and bifurcating. Die clashing appears on the lower portions of the obverse. Although the reverse for this variety is the same die as the 4-Di variety, the 5-Di variety reveals a more advanced die state, with strike softness present on this example near 6 o'clock. The recovery of materials in the early 1980s from the Feversham, a New York-based British frigate that sank off the coast of Nova Scotia in October 1711, provided strong insight into the money used in Colonial America. The coins salvaged from the wreck include pieces from Latin America, Holland, Britain, and Spain. In addition, a significant number of Massachusetts silver coins were present, a surprise to many. Among them were several pieces sheared into smaller fractions, similar to the treatment of Spanish coins, as a means of making smaller change. The discovery of the Massachusetts pieces further revealed their importance in the channels of commerce. Ex: C.H. Stearns (Mayflower Coin Auctions, Inc., 12/1966), lot 841; Eric P.
