    Hello and first question.

    I hadn't considered the maudy but I might I probably won't do the soveriegns as those are normally out of my price range being gold.

    Just An Idea

    I love this idea very cool. I may do something like this eventually.

    Hello and first question.

    The type set I want to do for British coins is Victoria to Elizabeth pre decimal. That means I'd get a half penny, penny, farthing, 2 pence, 3 pence, 4 pence, 6 pence, shilling, florin, half crown and crown for Victoria, Edward vii, George v, George vi, and Elizabeth Ii. I'd also do varieties like 90% silver and 50% and copper nickel for George v coinage and so on and so forth.

    Yea my coin shop treats almost all foreign coins like junk just dumping in a huge bin for 20 cents. I doubt they would do that if they knew they were silver.

    Hello and first question.

    Honestly collect what you like, it makes it a lot more fun to collect something you like. I used to do sets one coin over and over just different year different mint mark that bores me. Personally I like to put together type sets, large varieties and it just interests me more.

    All the coins I have gotten so far I have been out of my US coin shops foreign junk bin for 20 cents each (that includes the Churchhill crown as well as all the %50 silver coinage like the 1920 Florin and the 1935 half crown). I might upgrade down the road and I will likely have to resort to ebay a lot to put together a collection but right now I am just trying to put a decent set together from Victoria to Elizabeth II.

    I have thought about going the generic route but that's a last resort. I really like the Canadian dansco type where it breaks it out by monarch but can't find anything like that for Great Britain There was a Whitman bookshelf album that was just for silver coinage from Edward to Elizabeth. I'd like Victoria too and non silver coinage as well though.

    I have been an avid US coin collector for around 15 years and I recently just started to expand my collection and have been wanting to start collecting British coins and other countries. I started a crowns of the world album as well were I am mixing current foreign counties bullion with older crowns so say for example I just purchased a 2010 Brittania silver bullion coin and then I have a 1965 Churchill Crown (want to actually get a Victorian jubilee instead but just grabbed a churchill for now), or I have silver eagle and a morgan, a maple leaf and a canadian silver dollar or austrian philharmonic and a 5 coronas so on and so forth. It was starting to get into the crowns that really made me want to do a british type set. I love type sets thats my favorite sets to do. I have almost completed my US Dansco 7070 type set and have completed a Whitman 20th Century US type set for my little boy and started another one for my youngest boy. I have thought about doing Whitman for myself as well as a 20th and 21st century whitman. I am also thinking of doing a Canadian type set one as well. I really want to do a british type set but for the life of me I can't find any albums for them. I mean sometimes you can find old albums they haven't made for decades like in the case of the Canadian type set as they did a dansco 7210 and 7211 years and year ago for the Canadian type sets or you can find old Whitman bookshelf albums from the 1960's. I am just stumped finding anything on a British type set. Does anyone know if anyone ever made one? I mean I don't have much british coinage right now I have managed to get a George V 1920 Florin, a George VI 1935 half crown, a Elixazabeth II 1955 half crown, the 1965 Chruchill crown, a George V 1929 six pence, a George VI 1948 shilling and Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI and Elizabeth II large pennies and Edward VII and George V half pennies. BUt that is the expanse of my collection right now I just have nowhere to house them other than 2x2s. I also have some decimal coinage someone just gave me like 10 pence and 20 pence.
