That's how I started too, with a 'Check my change' approach to 50ps and £2 coins when I cant find any early milled silver at the grade and price I want!!

Now in danger of being sucked in to piedforts!!

I totally respect that area of collecting, and can see how it appeals. But for me I just love the historical context of Pre-Pre-decimal coinage. For me it's about 'getting in touch' with a generation whose footprints have quite literally shaped the land we now experience in their absence!

All very arty-farty, I know, but exactly where I'm at when it comes to coins!

The person that asked me about the £2 was so excited and enthusiastic, that I wanted to mIntain it by introducing them to the concept of this forum for the answering of questions such as this!

I know I could have trawled the net, but how impressed was the enquirer to read a response from Paulus in such short time!

Viva la coins, and diversity!

Decimal has been around over 40 years now What's a generation counted at 30 years. I think we are already there.
