  1. Holy Catfish Batman, er, Rob. Those are gorgeous. If I had a spare grand laying around I'd get a single door in a heartbeat!
  2. I'd not call it professional but for my three main obsessions, er, collections (shilling date run 1663-1970, Irish coins 1928-2000 & French 3rd through 5th Republics) I have a four ring binder and bunches of coin safe plastic sheets that hold anywhere from 42 (shilling sized) to 30 (half crown sized) or 12 (1870's 5 franc sized) and that suits me nicely. It's easy to show them to friends and easy to take it along when I go to coin shops or shows. Easy to find on Amazon, couldn't tell you elsewhere. Hope this is of some use.
  3. Don't have any suggestions for revamping your website Rob but finding the link cost me a couple of dollars for a 1938 English Shield shilling... 😇 Have a wonderful new year, sir.
  4. BTW, I did go get a bigger binder and am waiting on a 1663 and a 1668 shillings. My wallet hates you Paddy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  5. I picked up a 2025 definitive set here in the US for $70/ £52 - I knew it was high but couldn't find anything else with the new designs.
  6. Good info! I might just do that, there are some fun things with W&M and the like too. Thanks!
  7. I do have the 2025 "Coins of England & the United Kingdom" for both pre & decimal. It's a good resource (well, except for pricing 🤣) but wasn't sure that I'd missed something. Thanks!
  8. I started with a few type sets of different monarchs (entertaining sometimes to find in the US) but decided I needed something more to focus my attention on. So I've got a binder set up labeled "Shillings - 1702 to 1970". I know that I will never get them all, and most of what I have is recent Copper/Nickel ones. But I've found a reasonable Lima shilling, a very nice 1816 recoinage example & a couple through Victoria and Edward & the silver Georges. It gives me something to concentrate on and keeps me from spreading my resources too thin. And I'll have fun. So is there a good book on Shillings for this 'Murcan? 😇
  9. Somehow I don't think I'll even leave a space in my "Shillings from 1702 - 1970" binder for that one! 🤣
