I've always been interested in old coins, thanks to tins of expired world currency that we had at home, but only recently started to acquire a collection of my own.

When I got my first silver half crown the silver bug bit me. I won 3rd prize in a GAW by BackyardBullion and the forum's card was in the delivery, so here I am!

Welcome to the forum. I watched that video, lol. 

Wheres abouts in Ireland are you from Buddy? Reason i ask cause im in the north and there are no bullion shops up here. There are a few coin shops but they carry almost no silver at all. Buying a few oz's from a shop is still on my wish list after 4 years of stacking. Every single piece i own has been got online one way are the other.

And can you buy vat free cause your in ''europe''?

@jayboat we're in the same boat, then.

There used to be a wee coin, medal and bookshop up here but the place closed down before I discovered I liked coins that much.

Have you ever tried going into places like Cash Generators / Cash Converters and their many variations? I was thinking about searching their websites occasionally, because I seem to recall a short while back some of their branches had pre-owned gold and silver bullion of a sort. Not sure if they'd order it in from other branches, but it's worth looking into.

I straddle the border, with friends and family on both sides, so I feel relatively Brexit-proof here. If group ordering ever becomes a problem for UK residents, I could have an option still, unless they start frisking people at checkpoints again. In which case I'm not ordering any silver bullets, haha.

Gilver, what's the coin in your avatar? I love the look of worn, antique silver.. but the closest thing to owning any is a relatively modern Half Crown.
