Good online shops (especially for British predecimal silver)

2 posts
I'm in the market for higher grade British silver coins to try to complete a 20th century type set. We have a sticky thread for good eBay shops, and I'll check those out, but does anyone have recommendations for reliable and fairly priced online vendors? In the US is probably better for me in terms of shipping costs, although probably there's a better supply in the UK. Looking mainly for shillings up through half crowns from Victoria to George V, in VF or better. Trolling through regular eBay listings is kind of a crap shoot, and they are often priced higher than catalog value anyway. A local shop served me well for George VI silver but not so much for earlier types.

Also casually looking for an Edward VII or George V sovereign or half sovereign at a reasonable price; again, eBay listings seem to carry a significant premium over catalog value.

I know a few of you focus on high grade florins and half crowns - where do you like to buy them? Are you really finding those great coins on eBay or are there online shops that specialize in this area?
V coins is a hub for over 100 online sellers that I have found to be an excellent site.

There are a couple of sellers over here in NZ that have a good UK stock. I have bought from both of them in the past and they are both great guys to deal with.
