So with this post I begin what is, to me anyway, something entirely new and different. My aim is to share my fascination and joy of numismatics, with you, my readers of this blog. Each month I aim to post ramblings and possible diatribes on my latest acquisition, with information about any interesting coins or banknotes wherein. As I post facts and information regarding the pieces I collect, I hope to spark other people to get involved with this much loved hobby.
Now, although I have been a collector for many years, and even studied the subject in a historical context at a university, I still consider myself very much an amateur. So feel free to follow me on my adventures and we can learn new things about this subject through my failings and successes. So look forward towards the end of this month for my first real blog post where I will share with you my first attempts into becoming somewhat professional…or at the very least better informed!
