What would make British Coins a new aternative.....

Hi All

I collect brittish coins, what do you consider would be the most important factor for for Americans to start collecting Brittish Coins in 2010?

Interesting information in 2009 62% of viewers to www.petitioncrown.com were from the USA. There is already a strong colector base in the USA.

I have a couple sets of gold Britannia's.... and some random coinage from my time in Scotland and England. Nice coins. Cheers, RickO

They are very artistic and jewel like....seem to be just a higher quality more interesting product than US Mint items. ....all this based only on casual website browsing...but thats probably most sales anyway.

I think the Silver Britannia series is very nice and have started to collect them.

swk.... no fear of me shooting myself (waaaaayyyyy too much training and experience), but I do like British coins, even have a commemorative or two. But the Gold Britannia's are my favorite... sooooo beautiful. Two sets and I never tire of looking at them. Cheers, RickO

Put me in the "already collecting" British camp, in my case Conders.

How 'bout something worn with bad photography?

Good question- In some ways it is a question of how far your collecting dollar will go.
