1652 Massachusetts Colonial Oak Tree Shilling NGC AU *Ex. Salmon*
This scarce 1652 Oak Tree Shilling was previously a part of the Christopher J. Salmon Collection of Massachusetts silver coins. Exceptional example with an even gun-metal color and superior legibility on the tree as well as “MASATHVSETS” and “NEW ENGLAND”. NGC notes damage, interestingly it appears that someone in contemporary times attempted to break off a quarter of this coin then changed their mind. Exceptional piece.
