Hi,
Man was I excited, my oldest son has moved out and I was finally going to have a whole room for my collection (accumulation).

Started shifting through out the day and later in the and I heard this loud crash (darn cats).

This is what I found

Whoever thought they could get away with putting up shelves just using plasterboard fixings was clearly not from a construction background!

​The shelves were fine, it was the hundreds of pounds of coins that did it.

Jcler001 it's happened to others, you're not alone.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins

The culprit, and his partner in crime. This is their mug shots.


About halfway with the clean up and sorting. Should be be able to start moving the rest by the end of the weekend after installing stronger shelves and a talk with the cats.
