My plans....

[Emperor Oli 0]

I've been thinking about the direction of my collection an in the next year I hope to:

1) Buy at least two Maundy sets. I have my eye on a 1902 set on Andy's site at the moment

2) Branch out into foreign gold - the French 20F Rooster and the later Swiss 20F.

What do you want to complete this year?

I have quite a few nice Veiled Victoria Maundy sets, do they take your fancy?

I'm hoping to find some BU 1925-29 farthings as this is the largest gap in my 1918-1956 farthing set so far.

After that i also hope to expand on George II farthings...i have seen how cheap they can be after getting a quite lusterous 1758/7 sixpence from ebay for a mere £10. It is the 1750's that i hope to have completed by the end of next year.

As for more things, I will probably find my self within the expencive Victorian bronze series, which is my favourite set of farthings so i do not wish to rush getting through them.

Do you have any pictures up? I scoured your listings but couldn't find any mention of them.

[Chris Perkins 223]

No, they're secret at the moment. I have quite a lot of stuff that I simply haven't had the time to put up. I'll sort some pictures out.

Cheers Chris, I take it business is brisk at this time of year?

Yes, the accessories and books go a bit mad. It's quieter now of course as people know it's too late for Christmas.

Hi, My 'plan' is to fill as many spaces as I can for as little cost as I can !! Each coin, each year as far as poss.

In a couple of months I have almost completed the decimals (not difficult there !)

I am going back to 1821 wherever possible, not too particular about grading, as my collection is more for fun than 'serious' (can't afford serious). As long as I can read the dates, and fair bit of detail, I'm happy. My parents have started me off with a handful of each coin. Only two groats, though, so I have quite a few to start with. Now learning from CCGB 2005 what I'm not likely to find.

I have to also admit to collecting Euros (well, I'm going to now), as I go abroad at least twice a year and find so many different ones in the change. I've got quite a few left from last holiday, but didn't appreciate then how

many there are.

Yeah, i'm aiming to do the same. Fill some gaps with affordable high grade coins!

Hi Oli - only just noticed this thread!

Have you had any more thoughts on the 1902 set? Or are you looking for something else at the moment?

[Emperor Oli 0]

It's 1903, actually. 1902 must have been a typo or something. I've kinda got my eye on it but I don't want to reserve it or anything.

[Andy Bruce 0]

No problem, Oli. If you should decide to go for it then the ordering process is fairly simple.

Give me a shout if you need a hand.

Or ask either Peter or Sylvester - I'm glad to say that they've both had lots of practice!
