augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 3:34 pm There are coin shows all over the UK and frequently in London. Ask a local coin dealer or look on the web to find out where and when. Then walk the floor looking and looking, and occasionally asking questions and handling coins you might buy. Try to make a lap around the entire floor before buying much. Talk to anyone who seems happy to talk. You will learn a lot. There is no need to do much the first time. There will be many opportunities to spend your money. Edited by augustus1 01/01/2013 7:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
MarvelousMarv New Member United Kingdom 14 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 7:30 pm I must thank you kind people for your helpful advice. I'm taking it all on board. I'm not going to rush into anything, I'm content learning a bit more, getting a book or two and maybe going to a show and getting a feel for things. I think my general strategy to begin with will just be to get what stands out to me as being really good quality/value rather than rarity or trying to 'achieve' some goal. As I think I'll get a lot of enjoyment out of the learning. However, once I've got a feel for things and I'm comfortable buying online what do you think of these sellers? They're widely referred to in 'genuine' lists and show all the good signs (no private listings, 100% feedback + a lot of sales). denant: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Coins-/5852...&_ssn=denant del550: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Coins-/5852...&_ssn=del550 Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 7:35 pm I've bought from both of these sellers in the past and been happy. I also know for sure others on this forum have used these two before, you shouldn't have any problems buying from them. Report this Post to the Staff
