<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1095299, member: 28233&quot;]firstly darren you have the basis of a good collection, i like to concentrate on UK, french and german states coins, and scottish banknotes. bu i still collect general world coins and notes, how do you store your collection? WH smiths sell a decent style coins album and then there is the lindner system which i use myself. you will find that by specialising in certain areas as well as the general world, you will soon develop a greater understanding of the hobby when you start to look for different die patterns, and one golden rule i have always had is to never clean your coins, a little dip in acetone followed by a rinse in distilled water is ok to remove general dirt, but never put them in any other liquid. some people have used vinegar to remove dirt but it also attacks the natural patina of your coins. if you are ever stuck never be afraid to ask anyone on this forum for help and i am certain you will get help and advice with your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
