1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling Noe-29 R3 Small Planchet VF25

Frosty silvery gray with a few small puffs of darker gray on both sides. There are traces of very fine granularity on both sides but overall the surfaces are decent. There is a swipe of dark oxidation crust at the top of the 6 in the date and the planchet is a bit bent, but overall this piece is really quite nice for a salvaged silver coin. If not for that single spot of crust you would think this piece was never lost at sea. The legends are all easily readable. From the wreck of the H. M. S. Feversham in 1771. Weight 70.1 grains.
