    Good luck in your search and have fun. Seems there are opportunities with the dollar pound exchange rate.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Please show us what you buy.
    As might be apparent, I love British coins.

    Nada, zip, zilch. But I made one good contact, a Scottish dealer who claims to have some very high end type pieces about to go to PCGS and he will let me pick through them first. We exchanged info and I will plan to meet up with him this week. Will see if that happens but it's at least another contact.

    Nice! Please let us know if you find anything for your set.
    Last time I visited the UK, my collecting bug was dormant.
    I hope to go back this year. If so, I plan to do a bit of coin trading.

    Most of my sets these days are actually non-British. I have been buying a few specific issues which pertain to Colonial America and I have been buying extremely high eye appeal milled coins as well as red copper which is under-priced in the UK vs. US standards.

    Here are a few of my buys over the past few months...

    I especially like the James II.
    Your Colonial America set is very nice.
    What made you evolve away from No Motto $5's?

    The absolute price for buying coins that I liked was well into the five figures. Building a type set from Spanish Colonial times has been fun and I have done so with gem pieces.

    I still love No Motto $5 and will buy them but only if they are absolutely exceptional.
