🥇 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.

In the spirit of your post, I've attached a few before and after pictures after trying your cleaning methods. I loved the wire brush technique -- it removed the tree and brought a great shine to the schilling

Hahaha it looks like you cleaned it with a hammer!

Your "it removed the tree" comment really cracked me up.

That thing should still fetch a good price, as long as you have the "before" pictures as proof. Nice job.

I take a few weeks off from Tnet and I miss a tree coin? That'll teach me. Anyway, what a fantastic find. That shilling is in great condition and the rarity factor makes it that much more amazing.
