I used to! I assembled a collection by monarch, as you did. I have since sold that collection and moved in a different direction. 

This was one of my favorites: 

That's a lovely example! Y'all might not believe me but I bought an Elizabeth I in the Hong Kong auction last night haha.

I am also a shilling guy. I collect them by Spink number.

I would guess you have far more shillings than I!  You're located in Alabama? I live near Huntsville.

...no my 1928 coins r all from an original mint set i bought from the mint master when i bought his personal collection....

That is an incredible pedigree! 

Did you buy my irish 1928 Shilling in PCGS MS65+ ? I was curious what happened to it. I remember the buyer expressing interest to cross it.

...very nice collection, well assembled...i only collect cromwell/ormond n ireland shillings....

I knew I recognized you. I sold you the 1933 Irish Shilling in NGC MS66. I have the similar set on PCGS forums. 

Europe, Irish Shilling Date Set, Circulation Strikes (1928-1968) All Time Set: Clio's Cabinet - Irish Shillings (pcgs.com)

You seem to be doing well to outpace me in that set. I wish I could manage a 1930 in 65.... whew. And your Irish republic set is well beyond mine as well. I cannot find upgrades for my 1939, 1940 and 1941 for the life of me and you've super gems straight through. Would love to see photos sometime if you have any.
