Hello Everyone,

My name is Randall Bedwell and I live outside of Nashville, TN and collect sovereign silver coins.

I was introduced to coin collecting by my father when I was a child and recently inherited his collection. His collection is mostly "old silver" (US Constitutional Silver) and I have been gradually trading  with local dealers for "new silver"-- lots of Silver Eagles (for stacking and liquidity) and other world silver bullion coins--Queen's Beasts, Trade Dollars, and some beautiful Russian and Chinese coins as well (for long-term appreciation). 

I'm a college history professor and enjoy the rich provenance of the coins I collect.  The Silver Forum has been a very informative resource for me and I look forward to further participation.

While I buy Silver Eagles for stacking (with immediate liquidity vis a vis eBay),  I am interested in buying sovereign silver coins from European sources.  I am looking to retire in a few years and want to supplement my retirement through coins.  I look to make valuable connections through The Silver Forum and build a world-class collection.

Yes!  Our moniker is Music City, USA! 

I don't guess it surprises me that our city has international recognition.

Thanks for responding.

Think a lot of Europeans know it, but don't be surprised that I know, I was born in the wrong country and should be an American. I know all about the country!
