Pine Tree Shilling Copy ID

EXOJUNKIE

These get posted from time to time, but I don’t know of a definitive identification guide for them … maybe because there are so many variations. Anyway, just looking for opinions on era of manufacture. It weighs 5.5 grams and is roughly 27.8mm in diameter. Doesn’t look silver. No stamped “COPY” so guessing at least pre-1970. Comments welcome.

just because it doesn't have copy, doesn't mean it wasn't made yesterday.

i personally have no idea but i would LEAN towards way post 70.

unlikely to have any precious metals in it.

It's a Tatham copy, see for example https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1652-massachusetts-pine-tree-shilling-133133436

Interesting and really good pick up there! Btw, I forgot to tell you that I submitted my 1892 Eglit-224 and it graded as
you said it would

I can't answer your question but this one I picked up a few years ago for a $1.
