Hello and welcome to this great forum.
You are on your way to a full set. I would say these coins have more personal value then monetary.

Hi KLD. You're right they have more personal value. I don't think I would ever sell them, except maybe the duplicates or swap them for years I don't have. Triggersmob  |

Just as an observation and also a question; isn't it possible to obtain the use of this as well as other books on coins at the public library. I know that here in the states we can find these books in most libraries, thus allowing a person to see what is, or is not, available for their needs. Just curious! |

You're right Olddan, I just checked my library website and they have Greg Mcdonald's 2005 catalouge and also one by Krause. Thanks Steve |

Hi Dgoose50.
Thanks for the welcome.
My only problem with passing them on through the family is finding someone thats interested in coins. My kids show no interest, so maybe if I have Grandkids in the future, then they might be interested.
regards
Steve

Completing a penny set is also very rewarding.

I've said this before, but its worth repeating. I intend going SKIing "Spending the Kids Inheritance".  I figure that's better than having them get something that they probably won't appreciate and will spend anyway.  |

These days we give our kids to much so I agree with Yass.....SPEND IT ALL and leave them nothing. Enjoy your final years, the kids can look after themselves. We did now its there turn!

That's a good idea BM1947. Except my Daughter tells me to nice, because she's the one that picks my nursing home when I'm old. LOL

I started with a British Penny set, not much of a difference!
They are lovely to collect!
Keep on Going....
