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
