So as I have accidently landed here : http://www.predecimal.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3118

And descovered I like coins. I dug into he back of my cupboard to find a little collection my dad gave me from his date of birth.

And I know he collected coins, but I think they may have ended up on ebay, I must find out.

I had completely forgot I owned any old coins. Heres to owning more in the future!

The 1953 Pennies were only made for collectors, they were very difficult to find in change as a result, though I can tell you that I have found one in a bag of pennies.

Neat set, thanks for sharing.

I recognise lots of the French coins, from all my visites a la France!

Nice coins Melody, a perfect start. It's a great hobby to get into; there is so much history and artistry in each coin.

Hopefully you will enjoy collecting and if you ever have any questions just ask. As I was always told whilst serving in the Royal Navy "there are no such things as stupid questions, only stupid answers!".

There are many experienced collectors here who will only be too pleased to help.

Welcome!
