<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techwriter, post: 2250691, member: 75477&quot;]The predecimal coinage is truly a wonderful world and should not ever be boring; just too many great coins.&nbsp; Full disclosure here: I&#039;m no longer a collector but when I was &quot;in the coin collecting hobby&quot; my local dealer got me interested in the 6 pence and I never stopped looking for them all the way back to George III--fascinating coins they were.&nbsp; Never worried about the varieties, just the dates.</p><p>As to why Americans seem to prefer &quot;slabbed&quot; coins and paper money I think there are two reasons: 1. don&#039;t want to pay a premium for an overgraded item and 2. there is always the &quot;resell&quot; thought.</p><p>Most important is for you to FOCUS and stay there, otherwise your collection could become dis-connected and you&#039;ll really become frustrated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
