Noe-27, Salmon 5-Aii, W-300 variety, No IN on Obverse type. Considered to be Rarity-5.

One of the most popular and relatively affordable ways to collect Massachusetts silver coins (i.e. skipping the extremely expensive New England and Willow Tree coins) is to try to obtain one of each denomination in the Oak Tree and Pine Tree series (including both major types of Pine Tree Shilling) as follows:

1. 1652 Oak Tree Shilling
2. 1652 Oak Tree 6pence
3. 1652 Oak Tree 3pence
4. 1662 Oak Tree 2pence
5. 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet
6. 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet
7. 1652 Pine Tree 6pence
8. 1652 Pine Tree 3pence

In this 8-coin Mass Silver set, the Oak Tree 3p is the most difficult coin to obtain (roughly 3x rarer than the Pine Tree 3pence, for example), even more so in the nice, original XF condition seen here, with a sharp tree, a bold date and a crisp denomination that would be difficult to improve up for anywhere near this price.
