Hi Art1.2
The ones that are standing out to me at the moment are the commemorative coins, my thinking is i can explain the historical significance to my boy when he grows up and asks about them. also thinking of setting myself the rather large target of getting one of each coin for each year, as far back as i can go, as researching what to look for will be as much fun for me as getting the coins, although i can already feel the need to enhance my fledgling collection with American dollars for some reason.
I have already started finding out where the bring and buy and car boot sales are run in my area and am going to be trying to find some coins that maybe the sellers do not know what they have, (me and pretty much everyone else i think) but if you don't look you don't get.
Also making to my first visit to the Edinburgh Coin Shop tomorrow as hoping to get some really good literature to help me define where i should take my collection.
Cheers
Malcolm
