I have been collecting coins since 1966 but by 1970 I had sold most of my silver collections as the coins were then worth more for their silver content.
With the advent of decimal I didn’t have an interest until a T.V. ad caught my attention and I found that there are coins all over the world that are collectable.
I especially like proof silver coins although I have never bought a full themed collection I prefer instead to buy individual coins that catch my attention.
This is also the cheapest way as I can take advantage of opening discounted offers and cancel the rest of the collection.
