How do you designate the variety of Massachusetts Silver

How/where do people go to get the variety [Crosby, Noe, etc.] for a Pine Tree Six Pence?
Thanks :smile:

    You could probably also use the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins.

    Wow, the last time I looked, the price of the Noe book was MUCH higher. Either it's come down a huge amount, or the cheapest entries at that Amazon link are a screaming deal.

    Yes, the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins is probably the go-to book now, for colonials in general.

    For Massachusetts silver specifically, the ANS recently published The Silver Coins of Massachusetts

    The ANS has put many of their works online. The Pine Tree work is here. More varieties in Newman's Secret and the 76 ANS works are probably also up, but I'll let you look for them. AFAIK, Salmon is not, but that price I must say is rather tempting. There is a Noe/Salmon cross-table online somewhere, maybe search CNL issues.

    I still have Noe numbers on my coins. Since I only collect by type, it does not make much difference.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I agree with with cro , i love stacks ford catelog of mass silver, i refer to that most often. You can find a hard copy on ebay cheap every once in awhile. i like salmons book too.
