Hhhmm coin dealers. Whilst providing good knowledge of coins (and of course I'm generalising) they need to earn a living so they will : 1. Talk down your coin to sell 2. Talk up their coins they are selling And are very good at doing it.
Don't be afraid we all learn from mistakes. I started with my wants list many years ago.Forget that and follow your instinct.Get talking to dealers. One dealer sees me and gives me 1st dibs on new purchases...The only thing bad is coin collectors stoop. I need a Radox soak when I get home.
Hi I'm sure you know that mahogany is the main timber to choose (rosewood is also OK) Obviously Peter Nichols cabinets are the most famous in the UK. There are 2 Ebay sellers that hand build these. Smokerings (he has a nice one on Ebay now..read his feedback ) I bought mine from a seller Forestgreen....nice Avoid Oak MDF and the like. Smokerings one is £285 delivered and if I wanted another I think I would go with this. Good luck.
