    Knocked # 1 off the list. My best coin find so far.

    Finding a tree coin was number one on my wish list. Time will tell, but this may be my best coin find ever. I skipped pine and went for the Oak Tree 2 pence. My new number one is now a Willow Tree. (or a NE shilling) needless to say i am pretty stoked. I hunt sites that have the potential to have these coins, but I wasn't sure if I would ever find one. thanks for looking, Dan

    Dan.... that is an amazing coin.
    A true piece of history right there.
    It must be a neat experience to hold that in your hand.
    Congrats on chasing and finally catching one of those.

    well its really nice to finaly see this out on the forum Dan , it is an extremely rare piece of early colonial history and in remarkable condition too . it would be great to put that coin next to another coin to give everyone an idea and to appreciate just how small these coins were . Dan once again great great find , congrats again and thanks for showing off an outstanding coin it doesn't get any better here in the northeast |) |).
