I have a nice 95w, but it's just not anything special in my mind.
It's just a crazy coin that became worth that overnight in perspective.

When I first joined this forum he was still posting but disappeared soon thereafter.
He had some great Lincoln toners and other on the BST that I wish I had bought at
the time.
And, yeah, pinetree shilling hands down. I think that this thread makes a great point.
There are those that collect for purely investment purposes and those that collect to
collect. Two totally different approaches to coins.

If that didn't work out.... find a nice MPL

I'm pretty sure he had already decided before he posted in 2006.
Congrats...
Now try and find a Henry VIII Shilling (Testoon)
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

That quote comes from the OP (for those who missed it), and what he wrote is as true today as it was two years ago. I once owned an Oak Tree Shilling, and I'd use the $6K to buy one of those. The Pine Tree Shilling is too common.
