  1. The aluminium coin boxes are on ebay for around £20 as long as you don't mind paying a little over the odds .

    If you live in Newcastle i would imagine coin fairs are out of the question.

    Don't forget the local flea markets of antique fairs a dealer there might be very useful.

    Remember to COLLECT WHAT YOU WANT and never let anyone try and tell you what that is , you might prefer french or Spanish coins to English , they have some lovely designs esp the french.


  2. You have the perfect start into coin collecting in my view .

    Try and find a local dealer who goes to antique or collectors fairs , or otherwise rummage round in a few 50p or pound boxes and see what you really like - don't spend a lot remember you are testing the water.

    Once you have found what you really like just keep on upgradeing start with the common stuff - get rid of yoiur spares on ebay - remember money spent on coins is rarely totally wasted you get some back when you cash them in (sell them).

    Get one of the superb aluminium coin boxes fro lidl they are great for less than a tenner - they often appear just before xmas


  3. The queen really has a boil - if you believe that go to jail directly to jail do not pass go, do not collect £200 .

    Please note your jail term will last until you cannot see the boil anymore , if after three weeks of questioning you can still see the boil move directly to the tower of London and await your sentence which will be the first person since 1746 to be hung drawn and quartered.

    Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    P.S HM Goverment reserves the right to release your death on you tube / dvd for a fee of course and your final selfless act will be used to reduce the national debt (Hopefully to zero) :D


  4. What did they call july before Julius caesar was born? Surely the romans did not walk around with several unnamed months before they were named properly - this would create lots of problems at work trying to get through to your employer what time you want off , though not as much bother for slaves as you could just refuse them any time off (great to be the boss ain't it ! ) LOL
