1652 Pine Tree Coin, Real Or Fake?

These are really tough because of the primitive strikes and all the variances. I look at a lot of these at auctions. Been looking to buy one for months. The problem is every coin is different. Your best bet would be to send it in to a TPG. From what I see it looks real enough to justify paying the grading fee. Unless we have a resident expert on early fake MA colonials, that's probably the best advice you will get here.

How did you come into possession of it?

When I was a kid, my mother had a co-worker whose parents had left her their home. I went over with my mother to see the house and being a nosy kid I wondered through the house and started snooping through their stuff in the back bedroom. I found a drawer with a few old watches, coins and other small things. I asked the lady what she planned to do with them. She told me if I wanted I could have them so fast forward many years later they now sit in my drawer at home. Maybe once ever few years I think about them and wonder if there is any value to any of it but then never get around to asking. Truthfully I'm not sure where to begin to ask.

If you Google 1652 Pine Tree and look at the images, you will see right away that generally the pine trees on many examples shown have nuch more details and branches. Our two images so far look to have been struck by the same dies.
There certainly are many varieties of these as back then a lot of dies were hand cut to stamp the coin in question.
I bet if I overlayed my image on yours, it would match up almost perfectly, including the deliberate off center portion that is deliberately intended to make the fakes look a little more authentic.
The branches in mine are exactly the same as yours. The date is the same shape and the lettering although crude is the same as well. Sorry, but they made fake coins for many years as souvenirs and novelties.
Now they make them pretty much to deceive buyers.

I would always be 100% sure. Go to any jewelry store and ask for the weight in grams and get back with us.

does not match any Crosby that I can find.
