Hi Everyone,
Been a while since I got any coins,
Got 3 Silvers and 2 Coppers today :sunny:
I finally got my Pine Tree Shilling :D Looks to be a Noe-1 Large Planchet
correct size and weight, 28mm X 4.4 Grams.
A solid coin with some encrustation.
note scratch on obverse and clean X on reverse, good metal right there.
this example is a late stage as shown by severe die cracking around date,
and is close to the specified original weight and diameter, no clipping! :o
The site below is the most comprehensive I've found about Mass Silver,
follow to section contents for more info on the series.
Pine Tree Coinage
Also got my first Barber quarter and an SLQ,
2 LCs, one toast and a '47 with a really nice strike, even full of dirt, she's looking good...
(pardon the soap bubbles)
Thanks for looking and HH All !! Herbie.

Re: Been a While, Got some coins! Pine Tree

Incredible find Herbie!! That one has been on my most wanted list forever and I highly doubt I'll ever enjoy the excitement of digging one. You're doing the right thing sending it off to a professional. Can't wait to see how it turns out and what variety it is. Congrats again on a killer find!
