<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Slider, post: 1910201, member: 44205&quot;]Thank you both for your insights.&nbsp; The collecting style for British coinage does seem to be very different from that of American coinage.&nbsp; I can admit that I&#039;ve typically been a &quot;completionist&quot; when it comes to American coins, pursuing each mint and year of a particular series, but that can sometimes be unrewarding (particularly when you have a taste for high grades), as it takes years to complete a set and some never get completed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I really like both ideas of exploring a particular denomination like the shilling, as well as the coins of a particular monarch. But you&#039;re definitely right about the broad landscape - the variety of designs and denominations in British coinage makes American coinage look pretty narrow in comparison.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One last question and I&#039;ll quit clogging up this thread - Ebay doesn&#039;t seem to offer a broad selection of choices when it comes to non-American coinage.&nbsp; Does anyone have a favorite site to buy British or European coinage outside of Ebay (that is easily accessible in the States)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
