Why collect coins

(they're just lumps of old metal, aren't they)? 

Coin collecting is a tangible way to get in contact with the past. It is a direct link to the politics, royal lines, propaganda and religions of the day in a small affordable package!

• If you like history and art, you don't need to spend thousands on antiques or hundreds on artwork, you can spend just £40 and hold a special small piece of enduring history in your hand!
• Coins are a snapshot of the aspirations, triumphs and boasts of past rulers, just like a modern day selfie!
• The art work is beautiful and can rival the sculptures and paintings of the masters in miniature.
• As an investment you can collect precious metals in a very aesthetically pleasing way. 
• If you like Geography too, you can hop around the globe and collect more modern day coinage from the majority of countries in the world.
• They don't take up much space and they don't have to be very messy, unless you like metal detecting too!
• Coin collecting is a fascinating hobby that can lead to many others.

Portfolios or Personal Collections

Portfolios can be produced for investment or as a present e.g. new grandchild. Like shares, it must be noted, that the value of coins can go down as well as up - but unlike shares they are much nicer to look at and can be appreciated for years to come! Please ask for advice and to discuss a theme or your preferred coin era.
