A big welcome to Neil, who's finally found his calling!
The Call of the DARK...
.....GOD
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
I collect: 1. British Bronze halfpennies 1860 - 1970 including varieties in UNC Lustre (at least AU for rarer types)
2. 20th Century British Mint State Type Collection (per Spink number) trying to get the key dates of each type (eg. 1905 shilling). But as far as the "keys" go, I'd rather have a 1908 1/- in BU than a 1905 1/- in AU.
3. Coins which I consider genuinely rare eg, WCC silver (Welsh Copper Company).
4. Things in high grade that don't turn up in high grade (eg 1834 1/2d)
My two rules are: 1. You do not write on the walls. 2. You obey all the rules.
We collect great coins with great stories, or main areas are Ancient Roman and Greek coins, Chinese, Polish and European Multiple Talers from the 1500's onward. We still have a few wonderful Canadian coins left over after we sold our Canadian portion of our collection, not the least of which is an entire set of Gold Rush era 1862 British Columbia ten and Twenty Dollar gold pieces and the corresponding silver patterns.

Everything from A to Z. I know the X might get me, but I would like to get a coin or currency for every letter from A to Z! I think I have 4 to go! O,Q,W,X
