<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2768626, member: 76965&quot;]Well I tend to collect a lot of British coins. I found US coins way too overpriced for run of the mill stuff. Paying a huge premium on a coin where there is a population of several hundred graded at MS65 or 67 is not my idea of exclusivity.</p><p><br /></p><p>If GB interests you for its history then its a Great (pun intended<img src="https://www.cointalk.com/file://localhost/Users/apple/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0/clip_image002.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />) place to start. I mainly restrict my collection to late medieval and modern coins as these are easy to identify and verify. There are far too many fakes in the early medieval coinage and I find them harder to spot because of the lack of uniformity in the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The history of the Tudors and subsequent dynasties are of interest to me and I find I read more about the monarch once I&#039;ve acquired a coin of say Henry VI or VIII or Elizabeth I.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moreover, there are so many denominations and monarchs to collect, that it almost becomes a full time job<img src="https://www.cointalk.com/file://localhost/Users/apple/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0/clip_image004.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maundy sets are interesting as are the larger silver offerings and gold Angel, Guinea and Sovereign variants.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then of course then there are other European countries to expand into, German States, France etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and hope to see many of your future acquisitions here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
