About This Coin
Imitations of the Massachusetts Oak Tree coinage cataloged in Sydney P. Noe's foundational reference work on Massachusetts silver coins. These pieces were produced outside the official Massachusetts mint — some as contemporary counterfeits during the colonial period, others as later reproductions. Noe assigned them distinct catalog numbers to differentiate them from genuine strikes, and they serve as important evidence of how widely the Massachusetts silver coins circulated and how desirable they were even in their own era.
