Thanks for the replies folks....
What I was really trying to get at was the etiquette thing - some folks are a bit touchy about someone asking something different. Basically, if I did post on the UK forums (as that's where I'm wanting replies from really) can anyone see others getting upset about it? Oh dear, I'm not putting this very well am I, LOL.
It was the recent for sale ad. by team tsiri, in the UK forum that got me thinking about it. The coin I got from him had loads of history, I have kept that as I find the whole history thing fascinating, and I would like to get hold of more old coins that are languishing in draws etc. that no one ever sees as I do try to take my smallish collection to events etc. As B&R said, for sale ad's do crop up now and again but I don't recall seeing a wanted one...
I'll probably try it, saying that I'd initially like coins from UK cachers, the worst they can do is move it to the geocoin forum. My concern there is I may get inundated with international offers rather than those from the UK perhaps.
Cheers, H.
