I’m a lifelong collector — this started when I was an 8-year-old kid in the 1960s, and I’ve added to it through travel, gifts, and years of curiosity about history and place. These are one-off sales from my personal collection. I’m not a merchant or dealer — once an item is sold, it’s gone. Many of these pieces are now hard to find locally, and some are over 100 years old. To be honest, I’m reluctant to part with them, but I’m downsizing and I need the money. Please check my other listings over the next two weeks — you’ll see coins, medals, tokens, pre-war, pre-decimal, silver, and a gold sovereign appear as I work through the collection. Thanks for looking,
