Noe-4, W-720, Salmon 4-D variety, considered to be Rarity-4.

This is literally your author’s favorite Pine Tree Shilling of all time, a coin I have admired for y-e-a-r-s in its original 1980 Garrett Collection auction catalog photo and description.

With undisturbed original surfaces and stunning original luster of a sort I’ve never seen on any other piece of Mass silver of any denomination, or type, or variety, ever.

Simply having the opportunity to offer this coin on our site ranks high on my own personal list of numismatic experiences.

Ex Bowers October 1980 sale of the Garrett collection, as noted, lot #1217; earlier S.H. & H. Chapman’s April 1904 sale of the John G. Mills Collection, lot #35.

This coin is from the CRO archives and is not currently available for sale.
