How far back are you now? I'm finding things are starting to get a bit expensive.  :'(

Nice collection, Daniel.
I hope you are storing them correctly.
It would be a shame to see them turn green.  >:(

Personally I use cardboard 2x2s... http://www.air-tites.com/Cardboard_2x2_Coin_Holders.htm#.U8UmZ7FUaZR

but maybe airtite capsules might be better for these...http://www.air-tites.com/air-tite_coin_supplies.htm#.U8UnG7FUaZQ

That might be the Edward VIII coin, that Daniel referred to in the first post.

There may have been some UK coins which accidentally made circulation, but they sell for tens of thousands.

You can buy reproductions for cheap, but I wanted something contemporary. I got a British West African penny which bears his name EDWARDVS VIII, but not his face, because there's a hole in the middle of the coin!
