All my collections have 'ideas' behind them but i'm one of these people that starts off excellently well, really enthusiastic and three months...
Arrrghh! I'm trying to do the opposite i'm trying to specialise, i want to specialise but i'm seriously struggling... i don't have enough money to...
I use that rule (more often than not, but i would break it say for an 1989 sovereign).
Another beaut to pull is when you have two coins here and two coins there and you are humming and arring about which two you'd like to take. Do it...
Mines a 1710 sixpence! ;-)
Oh well £22 isn't too bad probably about a fiver or so over what they are worth but it could have been worse. Overall you got off lightly than...

Sixpences are one of my collecting passions. I'm actually doing a date set from 1674-1787 (just the London mint variants), i'm missing out all the...
They always say 2 blokes! :rolleyes: Actually it's King William III (William of Orange) at the front and his wife Queen Mary II behind him...
Yeah it's been dead lately they've all gone on holiday and Chris is busy with the coin book. And that new avatar is one of my sixpences!
Changed temporarily... i've got a Victorian one to put up (Miss Moore will return one day though! ;) ) And talking of the 80s i never left so...
Well okay i'll revert back to normality... i've got Miss Moore gracing two other forums anyway... so i'll go back to a coin one!
