Why start at 1797?

because i do not like the silver pennies as much as copper/bronze...after/if i manage to get all of the availible pennies between 1797 - 1967 in EF - BU condition then i will probably start half pennies...

That will take a long time to do!

yep, i have worked out that i am 11% through stage 1, 2% through stage 2, 4% through stage 3, and 0% through stage 4...

these are the stages:

Stage 1 = 1900 - 1967

Stage 2 = Victoria Bronze (1860 - 1899)

Stage 3 = Victoria Copper (1839 - 1860/59)

Stage 4 = 1797 (George III) - 1837 (William IV)

Would it not make more sense to have Stage 1 start with 1902 (Edward issues), and put the 1900 & 1901 into Stage 2, as they are Victorian bronzes???

just a thought.

Would it not make more sense to put the stages in chronological order?

(it appears he's buying coins from each stage in no particular order)

it was a good idea of yours oli, and i think it is a good way to collect...

it would, yes, but i want to keep my 1900's coins seperate from my 1800's coins...

(it appears he's buying coins from each stage in no particular order)

if i see a good looking penny from say stage 3 that is on sale for a bargain price, i may want to buy it...i am mainly focusing on 'stage 1', but every little addition to my collection helps...
