Well, it's hello from me and, as usual, in at the deep end.
Having spent the last couple of months arseing around buying new (ish) silver proof & BUC nonsense, I've decided that I'd much rather have coins with history. Unfortunately for me, I know sod all about the older stuff, yet suffer from trigger - happy self confidence (delusional, of course) so I thought I'd better join up here to learn summat whilst giving you lot a good laugh at the trash I'll doubtless end up buying from 'the bay that is evil' and other, sundry charlatans.
I think I shall mainly be going for half crowns - crowns (and probably everything else at some point - did I mention I'm trigger happy?) so any advice / guidance y'all can manage between sniggers would be greatly appreciated.
Here's purchase #1, £16's worth of good, ole Victoriana. Or possibly, worthless old tat. You decide
Regards,
Frank
