<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8524127, member: 101855&quot;]Not to show you up too much, but here is a better one. I have owned this one for many years.</p><p><br /></p><p>It originally came from a Catherine Bullowa auction. I bid on it but didn&#039;t get it. I bought this one a few years later. One day I had the Bullowa catalog out and compared the pictures with the coin. Sure enough, it was the same one! It is a small Pine Tree shilling, Noe 16. This was made after John Hull got the patent for the rest of his life to make these coins. I thought this would get an EF-40 when I sent it to PCGS, but came back as a VF-35.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1506709[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a British counterpart. This is from approximately the same era. The British shilling were heavier. The idea was to keep the Massachusetts coins from getting imported out of the colony.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1506710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1506711[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
