I just thought of what would be my 2 equivalents... and just relived the memory of both. I wish a person could bottle that feeling, and now you would understand what I mean, compared to maybe a few weeks ago, maybe not so much. Just imagine what your collection will look like 20 years from now if you keep plugging away and get over a real good one every now and again.

Yes that euphoria is really something! I need to hear of your 2 equivalents buddy. Knowing you it's something pretty incredible.

Hello Ahaba8,
That Pine Tree Shilling is in great condition! As “Tedyoh” said, consider getting it professionally graded and placed in a protective slab.
