Kagin’s Digital Launches Fractional Offering of the First Colonial Coin, Minted in 1652

TIBURON, California, August 18, 2025

Kagin’s Digital is offering collectors, investors, and history enthusiasts the exclusive opportunity to own part of one of the most important coins in American history: the 1652 New England Shilling. Struck in Boston under the authority of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, this silver coin is recognized as the first colonial coin and a defining symbol of colonial independence. Only 150 shares are available.

This is the company’s second historic fractional offering, following the completed sale of the 1934 $100,000 U.S. Gold Certificate Specimen. All 500 shares were sold in just two months, and the physical note was subsequently sold for $650,000, delivering shareholders an average 23% return and 131% IRR per share.

Now, 150 shares starting at $2,000 each are available in the 1652 New England Shilling, Salmon 2-B, certified XF45 by PCGS. Fewer than 40 examples of this hand-struck rarity, with the simple “NE” on the obverse and “XII” on the reverse, are believed to survive, with most held in museum collections.

“The New England Shilling is more than a coin, it’s a tangible artifact of America’s earliest steps toward economic independence,” said Donald H. Kagin, Ph.D., president of Kagin’s Digital. “Following the overwhelming interest in our first fractional offering, we’re excited to once again invite people to own a stake in a rare and historically defining asset.”

The offering is available exclusively at https://kagins.digital/, with ownership secured and verified via blockchain technology. The coin will be on display at the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (August 19–23, Booth #1015).
