"Massachusetts silver coins are among the most historically important Colonial issues. Not only were they the first silver coins made within the continental United States, and the first international coins made within our national boundaries (circulating freely in Canada), they early became a cause célèbre, the occasion of the first major rebellion by any of the American colonies against British oppression, the beginning of that tradition of defiance that would later manifest itself in the 1722 parchment pence, the Boston Tea Party, the Sons of Liberty, and the Minutemen - a tradition focusing always on opposition to royal interference in the colonies internal affairs. No wonder, then, that these coins have remained in continuous collector demand for over a century.

U.S. and Colonial Coins" (1988)
