[QUOTE="Geoff Wall-Davis, post: 1961838, member: 71645"]For me my most precious coin( not precious in value but in sentiment) is a well worn Queen Victoria English shilling which is dated 1874. My fascination and interest with coin collecting began in the Summer of 1969 when I was eleven years old and living with my late parents in an old house in the English Midlands. One day after I had come home from school I was investigating a broken floorboard in my bedroom, and under it I found what I believed at the time to be a black metal disc. I took the disc to my mother and she got some metal polish and cleaned it up, she then told me that I had found an old Victorian shilling. Although I was extremely excited at my chance finding, little did I know that it was going to be the beginning of a life long interest in studying and collecting coins. It's been a long time since that magical Summers day, but since then I've been collecting coins from all over the World and have amassed a large personal library of books on the subject. My well worn 1874 shilling of Queen Victoria will always take pride of place in my collection alongside my more valuable ones.[/QUOTE]
