Poll Question
Hi all, I am currently searching for a 1652 silver (though they weren't actually made that exact year), wonder what you guys would want if you could have only one?
Reasons most welcome, many thanks!

My reason for picking the Pine Tree Shilling? I'm completely unfamiliar with Colonial coinage, and that's the only one I've heard of.

Yes the pine tree shilling is certainly the most well known, and there are even more desirable coins - the NE and Willow Tree - but those are astronomically expensive. The ones I posted are attainable by mere mortals. Thank you for the reply! |

If only one, then the Pine Tree Shilling hands down. It is THE iconic Massachusetts silver coin!

I said the Pine tree shilling since I am a big fan of the design.

Any.
In Australia, they are all as scarce as hen's teeth.
