1652 OAK TREE SHILLING NOE-3 'VERY RARE'

Hi All, I haven't been out hunting lately, got a couple snowstorms up here in NH, and it's been cold & windy
Yesterday, I braved the weather and returned to the site where I found my Pine Tree Shilling. within 10 minutes I found another Mass Shilling! This looks like an Oak Tree, it was setting just under the surface among the rocks, tree side up. as with most of my surface finds, the side facing up is toasted, I can still see the "M" of Masathvsets, and a few of the spikey branches. The Reverse is a little better, date & XII clear,
(which isn't the minting date, for political reasons, most Mass coinage used this date from 1660-1690, I think the Oaks were 1670s)
you can read about this interesting story here: http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinContents/Contents01.html
Anyone know what this toasty 22mm Copper might be?
thanks to Dwayne Suehno for the Woods Hibernia Farthing ID
Well, Just shows there's quite a few of these old silvers left out there!
A Big Thanks To Mike at WWW.WOODLANDETECTORS.COM , Without his help I wouldn't even be Diggin!
HH Everyone! Herbie.

I think it's NOE-3. That's definitely the closest I can see from what was available.

1652 MASSACHUSETTS
"OAK TREE" SHILLING -
NOE 3

Variety equivalents: Crosby 9-G

Rarity: Very Rare

IP,
I looked thru the 12 varieties shown here, none come close to having the reverse 'N' at the 1:30 position except Noe-3.

Ah ? Yes the Pictures.

I Think they are Awsome Finds !
But would look like slugs on the Banner.

I Can't put Pics of someone elses Silver Coins up.

I Think steelheadwill Understands.

Re: Another Mass Shilling!! OAK TREE

Jeff,
I certainly understand.
I only took one set of pics as found, she's sorely lacking detail.
My Pine Tree is still up and one banner per year is plenty for me.
(March is my 3rd MDing Anniversary
Thanks to everyone who nominated me & my Oak
Best Digs All!

Hi IP,
I'm doing nothing to this coin except water soak
just took a different pic, (including cat hair )
and gave it some photoshop tweaking.
Sheesh, if PCGS slabbed this one as genuine, I should send mine in...
I figured my example was too worn to get the slab.
This one I would call toast: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1145&lotNo=8003
