1652 Colonial Pine Tree Shilling PCGS MS-62 Pine Tree, Large Planchet
The Noe-5, while common in Very Fine grades (20-35), is scarce in higher grades, with only a few About Uncirculated to Mint State examples known. Identified by a die break through the M in DOM, it shares deteriorating dies with Noe-4 and Noe-6, making differentiation tricky for collectors. Its handsome design and rustic charm captivate numismatists, reflecting the Puritans’ practical yet hopeful spirit. The coins’ aesthetic, with a finely engraved pine tree and balanced inscription, evokes a cameo-like quality, as noted in historical accounts, making them highly sought-after by type collectors.
For a small colony of 16 towns surrounded by native peoples deemed “savages” by settlers, minting coins was a daring assertion of identity. The Noe-5’s scarcity in high grades underscores its value as a tangible link to this era of peril and promise. At over 370 years old, these coins embody the ingenuity of Boston’s Puritans, who, against daunting odds, forged a new economic path in a wild, uncharted land.
