<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1179665, member: 28971&quot;]Both cpm9ball and BRandM are 100% on the money.&nbsp; Early Massachusetts pieces should really only be purchased already slabbed, unless you are a REAL expert on them.&nbsp; Counterfeits, copies, whatever you want to call them, probably outnumber authentic existing pieces (exagerating here...but the number of fakes is astounding).&nbsp; A consensus by the members here would most likely be 100% advising to only buy an authenticated, slabbed example (by a reputable grading co., naturally).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is good advice, which really should be heeded when dealing with any early Mass piece, especially the Pine Tree&#039;s in higher grades, where they can get very pricey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
