I am offering for sale a very rare Massachusetts Willow Tree Shilling. This is the very first dated and full design coin type made on "American" soil.
The primitive minting process resulted in odd multiple strikes and very poor details. This coin is no exception to this rule but there are still some strong details such as the denomination "XII" (Shilling) and the outer legend "New England". The first digit "1" of the date is visible and what appears to be a second "1" from a double strike above. Much of "Masatusets" is still visible and a few very faint remnants of the willow tree remain.

Trades for gold coins considered. Just send a message if interested and please feel free to ask questions. Thanks!

For those unfamiliar with this coin, here's what a $105,000 VF30 CAC looks like: https://coins.ha.com/itm/a/1234-4501.s
