Hello,
My name is Greg and I am retired and live in the South West of England. I am a new member of the forum and as a complete beginner at collecting coins I would be grateful for advice and answers to some questions.
The coins I am most interested in would be from the Roman period and up to the Victorian era. I would like buy and sell online as a hobby and would like to know the best way to get started on a budget?
I want to collect the above coins not for their monetary value but for the social history they represent.
I already have a selection of various other coins that I have been given over the years and would like to sell them so I can purchase more coins. My problem is that most of the coins I need to identify. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to search and identify these coins?
Finally, could anybody suggest online coin inventory software I could use to keep track of my collection?
Thanks in anticipation.
