As some know I'm new to coin collecting but bought this recently and quite like the tone it

Thanks very much for that info Tom very much appreciated mate

Hi bought an old DIY coin box of ebay. I like the old banged up look lol but I have noticed that in some places the velvet has become loose and coins are slipping through. Is there any glue I can use without affecting the coins I collect silver coins I have put up pictures to give an idea of the material in question.

Thanks for the replies guys cant find much online there's a restoration shop in town I might just give them a wee phone

Cheers guys I'm in paisley Coinery for those that don't know it's just outside Glasgow. I'm sure we will stay friends Garret I'll let you know if I spot a good coin mate lol

Hi as the title says I'm a newbie to the forum and coin collecting in general though I have coins from Edward 1st hammered pre decimal coins late modern and a liberty eagle silver dollar I do love silver coins, I like the look of the crowns I have a Victoria 1887 crown, double florin, half crown & shilling I'm looking to get 7 silver coins in that date and proceed down to the next monarch in turn, Just bought a 1849 Godless florin lovely coins couldn't resist I was looking for an 1887 Gothic but couldn't find a good one in my range so bought that instead I then did a search for a 1849 Crown and could not find one did they mint a 1849 Crown as stated I'm a newbie so assumed there would be a Crown for every year ? as you can see my taste are varied what ever catches my eye really, I've included a picture of the Florin if anyone could grade it I'd appreciate it as I have no idea on grades look forward to reading and chatting on the forums

Thanks for the reply's guys hope to get to know everyone and have some good chats
