British kings and queens coins

[mustynewb]

Hi,

Ive been toying with the idea of starting a collection of coinage from every British monarch from Egbert (using this list as a reference https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/KingsQueensofBritain/ . Not thinking gold but any coins from the times etc.

 

Anyone had a go at a similar collection before? Realise there are likely to be coins that are near impossible to get or super expensive. Just interested to see if anyone else is trying it?

Sounds like the kind of madcap scheme I might come up with meself...😂   Fantastic idea, though as you say yourself probably very difficult to find and mega expensive, but what a journey to embark on.  I wish you luck.

If Dan O’Dowd could manage it, you should be able to:

Although his was more ambitious, at one of every single coin type, rather than one of each monarch.

Go for it!

Although @TeaTime's idea of starting off with a Westair poster could be a good low budget option.

Maybe fake coins from fleabay then

So I've pretty much given up on every monarch. So set my sights a little lower. Aiming for hammered from York mint now.
