Collecting England's Coins
| TheBoss
Hi guys!
I have recently picked up the interest of collecting England's coins for not just the fun but also to have a educational experience. I have 3 different monarch coins: George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II. Every time I acquire a new British coin, I go online and find everything I can find about that particular king or queen. Additionally, I find out what happened that was significant that year. These are really good ways of learning and can be used with not just British coinage but also other countries coinage. I hope you guys can do as I did and learn a few things that are beneficial along the way of collecting coins! Thank you and be sure to follow me and my blog!
Best of luck,
Tristan Tang (elite_silver21)

Coins of Great Britain are some of the best to collect because they offer such a range of specializations. I have been tempted to put together a set of the 2 pound semi-commemoratives, a combination of great art and great history.

When I specialized in world coins, I esp enjoyed British coins. Many Victoria coins inc a 4p from 1838.

Smart thing to do. Canadian coins offered the same kind of king and queens throughout the ages. I had a few British pennies, they are not my fancy for whatever reason, so I sold them. The age difference between Britain and US coins his fun to think about though.

I like the british pennies. I have about 40 of them I got most for free except for my two from the 1890's which I payed 83 cents a piece for. I also have what is probably an old British Farthing. It could possibly be American colonial, too. It is sow orn you cant tell. It looks almost like a blank planchet. wouldn't even grade as a PR-1
