@hazardwarning Fair enough. You're doing a lot better than me. I have absolutely nothing. Photographing bird's is a nightmare. Photographing babies is a breeze by comparison.
@hazardwarning The pre-decimal sixpences are quite nice. And they have some real silver content, unlike modern coins.

@matigo No not really. These things just tend to retain their value against inflation, unlike the funny money the rulers con us with. Mind you, once you start looking, you do get more interested. Perhaps the fact that I got the American one is a sign that I'm getting more into it because I knew I'd have to pay capital gains tax on any profit with it….whereas the Britannia is C.G.T.-free due to being legal tender.
The Eagle has a dull finish unlike the gleam on most silver coins. I rather like it.
