I just picked up the sixpence at the Stack's Baltimore auction - my one win! I'm still looking find a decent large planchet shilling in a comparable grade (and at the right price!) to complete a Pine Tree type set. I love these old silver pieces!

Pine Tree shilling small planchet, NGC VF20

Pine Tree sixpence, PCGS VF details, surface damage

Pine Tree threepence, NGC VF details, repaired (area to right of tree)

Amazing set, I live sets like that so much more than top pop dealer assembled ones. Well done and enjoy

Nice pickup. Great detail on it. It's always nice when you can see all of the design elements on MA silver! Congrats

Thanks, I thought so, too. The stated problem doesn't bother me - my goal has been to find pieces where all, or most all of the design is visible and legible.

Thanks again to all for your comments and pats on the back!

Gonna go for a II pence?

Eeeeeyah! That would get me into the Oak Trees then! I don't think I'm ready to go there yet. I'm still working on a large planchet Pine Tree anyway. If I ever need exactly two pence, I'll just clip a third off of the three pence

Now I can make exact change in Massachusetts silver!!!
