Welcome back Mick! What do you still have and what are you going to be focusing on acquiring?
I still have 95 % of my collection. I had sold on most of my early milled copper, hammered , silver crowns and 1904,1905 and 1887 halfcrowns. I have already replaced the 1887 onwards crowns (except the wreaths) and some low- mid grade copper and hammered. I had started upgrading my bronze pennies before I stopped ,so i might continue with that and filling gaps . hard to do on a tighter budget than i had before .

I have just started back up collecting coins after a 6 year break .got a bit bored because the ones i needed to fill gaps or upgrade were beginning to be more expensive and harder to get . Unfortunately in the time i stopped collecting i sold my 1887 yh, 1887 jh, 1904 and 1905 half crowns which i regret now , but bills needed paid
. I had to collect something in that time so went onto Notgeld . 3-4 thousand notgeld later ,I have went back to my coins . I had actually forgot about some of the pennies i had amassed when i was collecting .

Found some 25p (crowns) and masonic tokens in a house I was clearing nearly 15 years ago , have been an addict since then.the hours I have spent trawling car boots, collectors fairs and the internet in that time isn't worth thinking about.
