Yes. Here's my Pine Tree Type set (Large and Small Shilling, 6 pence and 3 pence):

I have not bought any more Pine Tree coins since I completed my type set, but here goes.
large Pine Tree Shilling, Noe 1. This common variety is the "poster child" for the series because it is considered to among the most attractive pieces.
Pine Tree Six Pence, Noe 33. I have never seen an example of this variety that was not off-center. This is the best preserved Pine Tree coin that I have.
Pine Tree Three Pence, Noe 36. This small piece is rarer than the shilling, but since "bigger is better," it sells for about the same price.
Small Planchet Pine Tree Shilling. These pieces were struck at the end of the series after the General Court gave John Hull the coinage franchise for the rest of his life.
@1630Boston ... In answer to your question... I do not collect them... but would if I could find one - or more. That would be a real metal detecting treasure... and finding one in this area is certainly possible. Cheers, RickO
great post, presentation and pieces!

I have this example in my collection. It is the variety without 'H' in Masathusets. N-11 if i remenber correctly.
I was very excited to finally add a a legendary Massachusetts shilling to my collection.
Tis a bit of a shame that the Massachusetts Statehood quarter did not bear a Pine Tree design. Have they done thee innovation dollar yet?
Yes, they have recently done the dollar

I'd like to, actively looking for an example.
