My name is Chris, I'm from Salzburg (Austria) I collect British coins and want to find someone in Britain who can get new coins for me and send them to me. I don't pay more than +10% for a coin (2 Pounds --> 2,20 pounds). I'm looking for the 'modern' coins (50p, 2 pounds, 5 pounds). Maybe there is somebody out there who wants to do me this favour without earning the big money!   07-04-2005, 02:11 PM   #2 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,793 My Mood: Welcome to the forum Speedy __________________ Coin collecting is the only hobby in the world that you can spend all the money in the world and still have some left over   07-04-2005, 03:54 PM   #3 (permalink) Cait Senior Member   Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 143 hello! hopefully you find someone here!   07-10-2005, 05:50 PM   #4 (permalink) Susan Member   Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Salisbury Posts: 50 welcome, welcome, welcome...   05-25-2006, 04:40 PM   #5 (permalink) Pittsburgh Junior Member   Join Date: May 2006 Location: Pittsburgh Posts: 3 Quote: Originally Posted by Eisbein Hello!

De Orc I'm looking for the new 50 Pence 2006 (both of them), the new 1 Pound, the new 2 Pounds (both) and the new 5 Pound. I don't want them in folders but they should be quite new (from the bank). By the way: do you know if they are already in circulation?   05-26-2006, 04:13 AM   #10 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.
