Calum Well, sounds like you have goals! Mine is to get as good a C20th set of ¼d - 2/6 as I can. I have all back to 1928, and some denoms...
I am :) The sound of halfcrowns, florins and shillings is sheer joy :) I'm a Brit in the US, so I have some US myself, but my main interest is...

Wow! The xenophobes are out in force today! (BTW: It's currently the Queen)
