Evening all, I've just started collecting, as of yesterday, so much to read/look at/evaluate/get wrong etc etc. Bought some on eBay for £2 and £5, lots of sites about values, grading, any good books to help? Grading seems to be the hardest thing, opinions differ. If anyone has any hints tips for me all is welcome, spent 3 hrs yesterday just looking at coins on eBay, any other sites/places to search. I live in South Wales, any good shops around Newport/Cardiff area? Bob
