Yeah the coins are reproductions. The 1st issue was only £1.99 so thought i would see what it was about. 2nd issue is out in 2 weeks comes with a coin folder and another coin. Might get it just for the folder.

If it's only £1.95 it's worth buying for the wallets. I bought a small book of them and even though I haven't got that many nice old coins to show off it's nice to see them all together.

What, you mean to say you don't like the wind and all that lovely rain !

I've got my clothes on a rota system. One in the wash, one on the clothes horse and one on..  Would you believe I went out in one of Johns water proof coats this morning. His suggestion because he said it was longer than mine  ::)

Im not fussed on having the reproduction coins but if i find a coin very similar it could help me id and the magazine also tells you about mint marks and a bit of history through the era.

If you look at the price of the mag and how many issues there are till the end you could end up spending hundreds of hard earned pounds ...but for under 30 quid and in most cases even cheaper there are lots of coin ID books which include all the info needed including mint marks I recently got a copy of seabys standard catalogue of British coins for a pound in a charity shop  ;)

Issue one is the promotional price of £1.99, issue two is the promotional price of £3.99 and issue three onwards are £5.99 each.

They have planned 50 issues for this collection but hope to publish many more.

they do one were you can build a replica Harley Davidson classic motorbike and each week you get a part and end up with a 10 inch model but by the time you get all the parts its cost you just under £900 ha ha the identical model is on sale ready made in most hobby shops for around £100 and for what you get even that's well over priced it looks worth a tenner ha ha ha there's also ships...cars...you name it they will sell it with a mag monthly and rip you off  ::)
