<p>[QUOTE="ExoMan, post: 3576864, member: 72588"]Regardless of the condition of these "tree shillings," I love the history that can be attached. Indeed, damaged pieces are telling of striking and circulation woes, the clipping of silver, etc. That beautiful, high grade specimen displays a full legend. It reads AD DOM or "year of our Lord" which asserts that Christians were establishing their presence in the then New World; this, almost three hundred years prior to the use of "In God We Trust" on our coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
