thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 3:48 pm Wish I had one. Here's its 1654 cousin from jolly old England: Yours is a lot nicer. Mine has been so scratched and clipped that there's only 5.3 grams of it left, and probably underweight to even a masathvsets shilling.

WillyB Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 4:07 pm Pine Tree Shilling 1675-1682 Noe 26.2 The Massachusetts Bay Colony managed to coin silver at the Boston Mint from 1652-1682, despite pressure from the King Charles II(1660-1685), who felt coining silver was a royal perogative. One of the ways this was accomplished was dating all of the Shillings 1652, at which time England was under a Commonwealth with Oliver Cromwell as puritan military commander.
