This is a truly outstanding specimen. An Oak Tree shilling in Mint State 66 is something so remarkable that one must see and hold it in person to fully appreciate it.

I guess I'm in the minority but I'm not the biggest fan of it, 358 year old coins shouldn't look like this.
I agree. I was that way with the big collection of Bust coins in PCGS69 that sold a while back. Can't think of the name now, but they did nothing for me. I would prefer nice original problem free XF45's or less.
