I worked in a Bank for nearly 38 years and as I had no hobbies,decided on coin collecting.The price of Edward silver was out,and so I decided on Bun pennies,which were easy to find in the tills in those days.Bought a decent album(a little worse for wear now)and off to go.My collection is quite nice.I would like to upgrade the rarer ones,but now as a pensioner,can't afford it.At the moment I am going for(clear dates)a run of half pennies from 1696 to 1807.Have brought a few youngsters into the game over the years,starting them off with my early coins.My friends think me a little mad when I show them a penny which I bought for £260.Maybe one day I'll win the Euro Lottery then off to go again.
