hello all, I am only 17 but very very interested in coins and bullion. I have little knowledge on coins all i have is collection of coins given to me by a family member, I do not know if i have coins of any value. If i post some pictures on here please tell me anything about the coins i have, if they are worthless or worth something. Also if you have any advice about how i go about starting a real coin collection please let me know. thank you kieran

these coins are all so stunning i have massive coin envy. thanks a lot guys time to spend a lot of money on some half crowns

i like i like a lottttttttttt

thank you thats really helpful

ill have to find out more about cumberland then. thank you for your advice on coincraft. at them moment i really like the half crowns and silver Britannias are catching my eye a little.

i am finding the more and more i search half crowns and read about them the more i am fascinated by

its downloading as i am typing this thank you for your advice its really helped

sadly i am london way ill have a google

thank you so much

I think that is a very good idea at helping me decide between a real and a fake. im going to do a lot more research on the weights of coins and testing for real ones. what is the correct weights for half crows just so i can check mine?

out of what i have now i really like my half crowns, i think the design is beautiful. I have been looking recently at the silver Britannia coin i agree with paddy in the they dont have the history of many other coins however the design alone i feel is something worth buying. i also like the idea of having a coin in mint condition for no real reason other than it is displayed well and has certification. so for now i feel bullion may be where i start only because my little knowledge on old coins could cost me a lot of money on something that could be a fake or not even worth what i paid. however having coins with a real history behind them is what i really want.

i just read your half crown post and found your collection very inspiring. Being new to the coin game i only have 6 half crown my earliest being 1920 so not too good however i consider it a start in the right direction. I am really interested in going to a coin fair and just getting as much advice as i can really. What fairs are coming up and where?

i have always been interested in coins and history buy only now that i have started working is buying coins and truly getting into it a realistic goal

Thank you, I really appreciate that no coin is worthless and will start having that attitude. do you recommend that i invest in bullion coins then and not worry to much about the dates for while? where is a good place to purchase coins?
