Coin Collecting is a great hobby to start for all age groups and can be very rewarding. Holding a coin that has survived hundreds of years is very mind blowing just think who could have held the coin in the past. I started coin collecting when I was just 6 years old when my dad and uncle used to take me to antique fairs although I didn't have many coins in then it facinated me. I can remember giving presentations and making projects on coin whilst I was at school. There is so much different areas of coin collecting out there whether being ancient or modern coins or British or foreign. I collect American Indian head cents and any Scottish hammered coins that I can get my hands on for a decent price I love coin collecting and there is no better place to search for coins than on ebay. It would take you years to amass a specialized collection which you could get on ebay within a week if you had the money and it also offers I great vaiety of different areas of coin collecting. I went to university 2 years ago and needed a way of getting money so I oppened a shop on ebay which allows me to make enough money while a enjoy doing it. I get great pleasure out of some of the rare coins which pass through my hands. Although I am only 21 years old I have been selling coins on ebay for several years now as I am at University and needed the money. Within my shop I aim to keep it at a high standard with a wide variety of different coins from the begginer to the experienced coin collector. I roughly keep 1000 listings in my shop and aim to list new items every day. My specialized are is in British coins from 1800-1900. I also have a wide vairety of foreign coins many being from the reign of Napoleon III in France but also Australian, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Italy, Spain, China, Russia, Portugal, Belgium and many more. I have some relatively rare Uk coins including an 1818 George III Half-Crown in near uncirculated condition. If you are looking to start coin collecting then I offer very cheap starter packs where you can get 25 coin for only £4.
