1652 pine tree shilling?

[Pginusmc]

My grandfather found this pine tree shilling coin in the 50's or 60's. I am not sure if it authentic or not. It is real diver and has corrosion. It looks like it may have been shaved at one point. My major concern is the T that appears above the 1652. If anyone could give me some info I would appreciate it I don't wanna spend money for authentication if it's fake

Photos would really help, if you gave photos I have a feeling that someone could tell you if it's real of not, without photos there is no way to tell.

If I.P. says it's not genuine then it's not. It's still a neat coin though.

Probably somewhere it's written "one is not to second guess the spandex knowledge"

Cool coin though.

Looks like silver-plated cast Zinc.

Probably a poorly cast pewter copy. I had a feeling that IP would help ID it once you had photos.

Wow, that is a bummer. The Pine Tree is probably among the most sought after coins from the early days of our nations history. I think the stars and moon have to align perfectly, and the hunter has to extra ugly to ever find one. ......... waiting on Abe's response .... ha ha !

Thanks for the input... I thought it might not be real just wishful thinking. But I am pretty sure it's solid silver

Because the picture says it all. It looks like a cast plated copy and not a hammered silver coin. If I had some doubt I would say so, but for this one I would bet my house on.

Is that a cartoon type portrayal or the real deal? 98%?

Sorry, I'm with IP, easy one to tell by photo.

SuperHero's have to wear spandex. Just the rules. Mine is at the dry cleaners as we speak.
