Mongo Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 You will be 15 right?.. At that age, my Birthday money went on bottles of Diamond White Cider and a 20 pack of Red Band smokes! I did not vote, as I do not know what coins you prefer. If I were you, I would spend my money on the best example of my favourite coin type I could afford.Shop around a little, take your time, and buy yourself a coin that is special, in your own eyes, something you will look back on with delight for years to come Quote
Coinery Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 G5 XII's...much more plentiful, and more likely the series where you can get some quality coins within your budget! Quote

The most important thing is to collect what floats your boat, not whatever the voters say. Having said that, if you like Geo V shillings then I agree with the fact they are quite cheap. Buy the best you can afford, avoid date runs. The other nice thing about them is that if you're not bothered collecting varieties, there aren't any rare shillings - and that includes 1917, 1919, 1925, 1930, all fairly readily available. Quote
SEnumis Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) What Mongo said. Your collection should have a theme, but don't be afraid to break it if you really, really like a particular coin (for whatever reason). If you like Geo V Shillings then buy the best examples you can afford. There are 26 years to collect! Edited July 31, 2012 by SEnumis Quote
