🥇 BANNER Cut 1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree "spiny tree" schilling

[Gregg3131]

I was digging in a colonial field in Central VA and had a pretty scratchy tone however there is little trash so I dig most signals. After it came out of the hole I was sure I had another cut Silver reale as I have dug a few others at this site. After looking at it I noticed the lettering and rope border was different than other old silver I have dug so I inquired about it and got the amazing news its a 1652 Massachusetts Oak Tree Schilling. What a piece of US history. Very fortunate and thrilled to have save this piece from a tractor as it was not very deep.

Wow, crazy nice find. Every time I dig something silver from a colonial site I take a deep breath, and hope it’s a Tree coin.

Congrats on making banner. I believe yours is the first cut Mass Silver to make banner. Good for you. Particularly well-deserved, as your location is so far away for where Mass Silver generally circulated.

I was super happy to see this make the banner. Both my cut Pine Tree and my Pine Tree 3 Pence received a lot of votes, but they fell short of the mark. Any Mass Silver will always get my vote.

Mass silver is very cool. But I can see they didn't exactly stick to any standard striking formulas at the time or the dies didn't last too long. Mass coins on the same page have Mass title with the tree or the date. Haven't seen much Mass silver so inexperienced. Great finds all.

Agreed
