[QUOTE="Nap, post: 25379155, member: 73099"]I have been collecting British coins from the earliest Saxon times to the present. Have been doing it for over 10 years now and I'm still having fun. I have not started Celtic or Romano-British. My one-of-each-monarch set is approaching as much of a sense of completion as is possible, with some of the early Saxon kings actually unobtainable. I am now approaching 100 different English monarchs (including the pre-Norman conquest petty kings). I also have the Scottish kings. But I will say that this set is something of a slog, and I wouldn't start with that as your goal, unless you are a glutton for punishment. Find a period of British history that you find interesting and start with that. Or pick a denomination- groats for the medieval period or shillings for the early modern times are fun, or the big halfcrowns which are often less than half the price of the crowns. The kings and queens will all be there later if you decide to aim for that sort of completion.[/QUOTE]
