Hi Everyone,
From Devon, though currently over in Taiwan. Pretty new to all this…
Started out a year ago by getting a couple Gold Britannia’s, and then a proof locally here from Truney.. after that finding myself quickly getting hooked, I think I was over zealous, making a few mistakes by paying a premium (ebay prices for a coin or two), so now trying to limit my impulse buys to a more measured & economic approach.
Quickly finding the idea of a Gold Britannia date run a little rich for me, I was all over the map picked up a couple UK coin proof sets but recently started focusing on doing a silver BU Britannia date run. Doing ok with that collection, currently outstanding 1997 (which I’ll likely look to pickup a proof set), 1999, 2000, 2010, 2018, 2019 & 2024 to complete that run.
On a whim being in Taiwan I had picked up a 2020~2024 run of Australia’s Most Dangerous from LPM, for me postage from them is relatively cheap (note my UK purchases go to my UK address)
A bit more on the quirky side, being from the south west I got a set of Lundy 1977 1 puffin & ½ puffin so plan to complete that with the 1929 originals** & potentially a 1965 fantasy set.
** saw @iacabu had a set for sale last year
Other than that not sure where to take it next with other affordable common British coin date runs, ideas?
Anyway, happy to have run across this site and looks to be a great resource.
Happy collecting!
