TimMedhurst Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Dear all,Just wanting to introduce myself and say hello. Have just joined the forum, and looking forward to meeting you all. I used to be a member on here a fair few years ago when a teenager as 'Coins4u'.Enjoyed seeing all the conversations going on back then and thought I'd reincarnate myself.I hope everyone is having a good weekend!Cheers,Tim Quote

TimMedhurst Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Thanks Peter and Coinery! My preference is late hammered to c.1820. Although American and foreign generally has grown on me.Dorset is stunning, funnily enough Peter I only moved from your neck of the woods down here about 8 months ago. I used to run a coin auction there for 2/3 years.How about you gents? Your coin preferences? Quote
TimMedhurst Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Welcome back, Tim!Thanks! Look forward to chatting. T Quote
Peter Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I love early copper but have more or less turned to type collecting including hammered and foreign.Early French,Irish,Scottish and US are also in my radar. Quote

Great area to collect! How are you getting along finding nice examples at the mo? Actually, it's a struggle. There are plenty of dire coins. However those I consider to be better examples are very thin on the ground. People are either holding on to them, or they sell for considerably more than they would have done a year or two back ... ..of course, it may just be I'm getting too fussy in my old age! . Quote
Paulus Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Welcome back Tim. My preference is also for late hammered and early milled (English, mainly silver). Looking forward to seeing some pics Quote

My taste had changed too, so I think as every year goes by we become more picky! Quote
