New arrival saying hi.

This seemed to be the most appropriate topic heading for a 'hello' post (unless in my senility I missed the official place for them).

Anyways, I'm an American who collects pre-decimal British coinage. Not by any stretch of the imagination an expert, I just know what I like (and what I want and don't yet have... mmm, gothic florins). Most of mine come from stray foreign boxes at local coin shops, usually 4/$1 or thereabouts, so it's almost all base metal. My personal favorite is an 1868 1/3 farthing, though that wasn't had from a box in a coin shop; the oldest is a 1749 halfpenny, which likewise didn't come from a box.

Outside of that, I'm working on a birth year world set for myself, I like issues related to space, physics, chemistry (circulation issues only--as far as I'm concerned, if it never hit the street, it may as well be a medallion). I also collect Polish coins... and of course anything that makes me go "Ooo, I want that!" when I have sufficient money on hand.

Hi Rev, with your interests, you should have a lot to say.

Your location reminds me that on my first date with a real live female of the species, I took her to see a film called 'Goodbye Columbus'. Ah, happy days!
