Where are all the British coin collectors?

I used to dabble in them a bit, and I'm thinking about re-entering the market.

Cheers!

They all went into hiding since the prices have run up so much in the last 2 years. I still dabble a bit with British though, and a few others on the boards.

Throw out pictures or controversial questions and watch us all come out of the woodwork! LOL...

Here I am!! Well, in a small way at least. Pre-1946 by type - all the way back.

Wonderful coins, something for everyone, full of history. World-wide appeal. Value of true high-grade coins is being better appreciated these days now that some (albeit very few) British collectors are accepting certified coins. Of course, there is 'sticker shock' when true high-grade coins are offered at the prices they are really worth and the market will support.

Collect away! Welcome to the forum!

I'm in pretty deep on the George VI and Elizabeth 11-pre decimal material; love the chase and plan to stay at it.....

Narsty varmints - go collect something else!

I'm not so sure about that. I bet if one added up the number of collectors of British coins who do not reside in the UK it may very well exceed the former.

Welcome to the forum, Marine1. Is it safe to assume U.S. Marine? If so, then Semper Fi!

Still plugging away on most things British.

Where are all the British coin collectors?
