Mr Paul Ellaway who formed the collection gives an insight below into his hobby below. Paul makes the comment that he tried to find the best examples he could and it immediately becomes apparent when perusing his collection he succeeded. Many of these choice coins have been in his collection for decades and once snapped up by collectors in this sale are unlikely to be offered again for at least a generation.

*****************************************

I will do a brief history of my collecting. It started when I first left school and started working we was renovating a coaching inn and I found a cartwheel twopence and a Bank of England dollar. I had a interest in coins but my collecting started 30 years ago and I found my passion was for copper and bronze when I saw a 1841 penny uncirculated with lustre. I tried to find the best condition coins I could and really enjoyed collecting the best coins I could afford.
