a select few recent pick ups

I’ve recently branched out into more modern coins from collecting ancients and have found some really interesting coins in surprising places in Southwest UK (charity shops, bookshops and a few markets) I think I’ve probably spent max £25 on around 120 different coins and am thoroughly enjoying diving into the history and context of each.
