I wonder if there is a sudden boom in coin collecting as a means of investment. I know the gold and silver prices are high due to countries like China and India's economic growth. People from these country's are choosing to invest their new found wealth into buying gold and silver. I wonder if the same is happening to the coin market or if it is possibly a knock on effect?
Thanks Custard1966 you have been very helpfull. I have been on the NGC website and looked at the census. The only two grades they have for this year are 1 my coin with raised lines and 3 others with incuse lines. So they must be refering to the wreath.
Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows much about Victorian Penny’s. I have just bought this coin and I assume it is the normal 1879 large date ref. Spink 3954 as apposed to the incuse one which is not as rare? If anyone could help I would be very great full.
I'd just like to say hello to everyone here. I think I recognise a few members from other forums, and I'd like to say what a great site this is and its that it's great to have a forum specifically for British coin collectors.
