[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4562721, member: 10461"]Ah, yes. I'm a fan, too. :) Didn't have the shell with any of the three Soho proofs I have owned, but they're no doubt why we have some of the more pristine survivors. My first was a gilt Irish halfpenny, around PR61 or so. It had some hairlines. The second, which I lamentably have no pictures of, was an NGC PR64 UCAM Irish gilt penny, which was [I]phenomenal[/I]. It is my #1 "seller's remorse" coin. The third was this British (yeah- gilt- I have a thing for gilt) halfpenny. I acquired it from the person who posted just above me. It was in an NGC PR64 CAM holder at the time.

I surely miss it. Maybe there will be another one day. [COLOR=#ffffff].[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
