About Me
About Me:
I've collected for most of my life. At age 12, on a family trip to the UK, I was changing pocket money for rolls of 5 and 10 New Pence to find shillings and florins. These were still circulating and often found in change. I've churned my collection many times since then. After 40 years working in environment and agriculture policy I'm now retired, giving me more time to pursue coins, swim and play my saxophone and trombone. My collecting ambition is to have the best-looking coin sets I can find.
