    Thanks for all that. '81 was the year we got married. They'd just stopped making hammered coins at that stage from what I remember.

    Ah. Cheers.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a beginner's guide to what's what; quality; types of coins etc? Some say ignorance is bliss, but not in this subject! Thanks Chris

    I'm in the market for a 1981 Sovereign, as a special present. Interestingly, the Royal Mint prices it at £335 (proof), and another site sells them in different qualities: EF uncirculated (£214.55); uncirculated (£238.35); proof, no certificate (?) (£212.90). I'm confused about the relationship of pricing, as I would have thought that proof would be more expensive (why no certificate?) and EF uncirculated is less expensive than ordinary uncirculated. Clearly, much to learn...!

    Hi all

    ChrisM posted a topic in Beginners area

    I just started collecting coins last year, having been given one as a gift, and at 60, am starting rather late! I'm focusing on British, both pre/post decimal and buying items that I look the look of rather than following a strategy at this stage. My wife and I were in a coin shop yesterday, looking at hammered coins. As a keen fan of history, I found that aspect fascinating. Lots to learn! Chris
