<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prestoninanus, post: 699963, member: 20205&quot;]Westminster is a private coin-marketing company based in Britain that sells various coins (usually overpriced tat) from all over the world. Not just British ones. </p><p>&nbsp;Westminster is not connected to the British government or any official body withing the UK. (Having said that, the Royal Mint, which IS an official British government body isn&#039;t above selling overpriced tat from all over the world itself, but I digress).</p><p>&nbsp;If you want to collect coins, I would avoid the coin marketing companies who target the unknowledgable, and buy either at coin fairs or from proper numismatists who are members of professional numismatic organisations such as the BNTA, the ANA or the IAPN. They usually charge a much fairer price for what they sell, because they deal with customers who are often even more knowledgable than they are in their chosen specialist fields, and simply wouldn&#039;t get away with overcharging the way the likes of Westminster do..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
