🥇 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.

Big time congrats Rhode!! If you check my banner find, I found one in Mass on 2008- what an amazing feeling. I can honestly say I know how you felt- looks like it's in really nice shape and a pretty rare one at that. Banner vote in!

Thanks for the info hogge, this is number 8 for Mass tree coins for me, the others have been oak trees i hope your in the ball park on the value . ps i am not much of a computer or internet guy so please forgive me if i don't follow proper internet protocol but thanks to all for the kind words .

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).
