I write the guides, grading reference and blog here at MyCoinage. Been collecting British coins since 2012, started with an inherited bag of pre-decimal silver and that was it, I was hooked. My main focus is 20th-century UK proofs and the Elizabeth II pre-decimal silver, but I spend most of my week reading auction catalogues and new coin submissions across every denomination.
If you spot something in a guide that could be sharper or you have a suggestion for a page we should add, drop me a line through /contact, I read everything that comes in.

Thank you Eleanor for making MyCoinage happened. You have an interesting combating of coins in your collection. I pray you for this, as this helps me a lot more. As I am a deaf person, and unable to communicate over the phone and others difficulties. Anyway, it's good to be able to talk. Wow, 19 and a bit for Victoria Crown. I guess the coin is rare. Collecting coins is like fishing, which is hard to give up the fun and learning more. I sold a collection of my coins on and off a couple of times in my life. I've myself come back even more hooked. 🎣 E
