Welcome to my website.....
My name is Colin and I started collecting coins many years ago at 8 years of age! I remember playing cards with my dear Nans neighbour, but was more interested in looking at dates of their pennies and half pennies. My coin collection grew and I spent hours inspecting them in an old knife & fork box!!
My coin interest faded when I started work and girlfriends became more interesting!
Fastforward 40+ years and I have owned www.stonegatecarpets.co.uk since 1990, specialising in traditional & contemporary stairrunners/rugs.
I started attending coin fayres, auctions, ebay 15 years ago, collecting Half-Crowns and then other denominations mainly from 1660 - 1972. Once again my collection grew and grew and so I decided to open my coin website using my photography skills....also my hobby!
My coins and chatting with other collectors gives me many hours of pleasure.....hope you enjoy and please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or queries.
