Hi, just joined this Forum and thought i'd say "Hello"! I do collect coins and banknotes but am far from an expert, so hopefully i'll pick up a few tips on here! I have bought the three books, "Collectors Banknotes 2008", "Collectors Coins GB 2008" and "Check Your Change 2008" and have found them very useful. Anyway, nice to be here and look forward to some answers to my many questions and queries soon!

What an excellent choice of initial books!

Thanks for the welcome guys, happy to be here! Wasn't sure i put my introduction in the right category on here but it seems to be ok! Yes, guess you would like my choice of books. I actually bought them from a shop on E-Bay called "Andy's Antiquities". He's a nice guy, prices are good and is very quick with posting stuff, bought a few coins and notes from him as well as the books! I mainly collect more up to date coins rather than old ones. Guess i started with the circulating "commemorative" two pound coins and went from there to the "proof" coins, and then to the silver "proof" coins. Obvously "Check Your Change" was very useful for that. Not sure with some of it though as some of the coins are very hard to find and are expensive when i do find them. The hardest two pound silver coins to get were the 2002 Commonwealth Games set of four and the 2005 "Gunpowdwer Plot".
