🥇 BANNER 1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree

[Rhode Hog]

Back to the site in New England that has produced Tree coins in the past, dug this pine tree 10 inches down in a tangle of roots. Hoping that the experts can identify the variety. Let's hope the weather is not like last year so we can hunt all winter.

That is one heck of a banner find.

Congratulations! You sure don't seem very excited to have dug such a rare and elusive coin. I'd be going on and on about a find like that but you might be a man of few words. Regardless it is a banner worthy find.

That is one beautiful old coin and a fantastic start to the new year. I vote banner as well.
They just don't appear very often. Big congrats on that one.

Wow!!!

Congrats on the great looking silver. It has an annealed look to it, or is it just the uncleaned toning of the surface?

 

[ironhorse]

Best thing I saw all year!
That's a winner!

Congrats on one sweet coin...Maybe with luck and research I'll get my coil over one of those!

Actually quite an amazing coin. Well centered and struck, whereas Breens says die clashing weakens the reverse on the Noe-28. Must have been an early die state coin. Although you do see weakness in the reverse, everything is there. Poster doesn't seem too excited over finding a very rare, and well struck, example. Just a guess, but haven't been able to find an auction example of price realized, (maybe someone else can), probably a $10-$15,000 coin. (Or better).

I'm "almost" sure that one of my Great Grandfather's had misplace that coin. Nice recovery!!, just drop it into the mail, and send it to me. Thanks.
