Currently actively searching for...................

I like to give myself goals when collecting.These are my top 10 actively searching for coins, this list is for the U.K. - it includes very common coins and some harder to get years, and also a type that I don't have any examples of. I find it useful to do this!!

Any Edward VII florin  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/royaume-uni/g4025.jpg
1959 shilling Scottish crest  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/royaume-uni/g176.jpg
1961 shilling Scottish crest  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/royaume-uni/g176.jpg
1964 shilling English crest  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/royaume-uni/g187.jpg
1952 sixpence
1958 threepence
1915 threepence
1938 farthing
1955 farthing
1953 penny

Then when I have completed this hitlist I will make another top ten for another country in my collection.
I find this gives my coin search a bit of focus, whilst doing this I try to fill the rest of the gaps in my collection but it is a secondary consideration.
Does anyone else have a similar approach?

I always wanted to be someone, now I realise I should have been more specific.
Hi again
I would also like to add, thanks to this great site my collection has received a real boost in just a couple of weeks. I've made a lot of swaps in a short space of time and have a few more in progress. All of these swaps have been succesful so far.  :)  
So thanks again

 I do have all ten coins in my collection, and the other nine you are wanting are either silver or hard to get, like you said.

  • Silver:
Any Edward VII florin
1915 threepence

  • Known for being scarce:
1959 shilling Scottish crest
1961 shilling Scottish crest
1952 sixpence
1953 penny

  • Others:
1964 shilling English crest  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces882.html
1958 threepence  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces71.html
1938 farthing  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3310.html
1955 farthing  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2345.html

 I guess if you can get someone to send you any of the first six then they would probably have that shilling of mine also. Also probably not worth me just sending one coin.  :~

I could help you out with most of the coins you're after with the exception of the Edward florin
