Thank you 1949threepence, I’m looking forward to it. I think I’ll start by searching through old posts which will be a goldmine of information for me. I’ll wager that a lot of the questions I have will have been asked before, but I’ll be sure to ask if not. Thanks very much, it’s really appreciated.

Thank you For the welcome Peckris 2 and PWA 1967. I bought the pre-decimal collectors coins book last week as a starting point just to get some idea of what things cost and why, before I bought anything. Really good reference book and I’ve got a lot to learn in there! I’ll have a look at the other one too soon enough. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the welcome blakeyboy. I’m only just beginning to see how vast this hobby actually is and it looks like you could spend a lifetime collecting from just one era... I’m looking forward to starting the journey.

Hi, I’m Bryan and a brand new member on the forum. I have recently taken an interest in numismatics and having started collecting some modern British coins, I have also decided to start a pre-decimal coin collection. Actually, the word collection is not quite correct as it implies plural. I have ONE 1951 Festival of Britain Crown thus far... I did say I was brand new! I am interested in all types of coin, especially British. I have little knowledge and I hope to gain as much learning as I can from the forum and am looking forward to chatting to you at some point along the way!
