About Us

I started J.W.B Coins & Collectables in 2007 from a tiny room in student halls, whilst studying Scottish History at University.  What began as selling a few items on eBay has grown significantly into a family run business offering an extensive range of British, European, and World Coins, as well as Banknotes, Medals, Tokens, and Books.    

My interest in history started at a young age, with a particular attraction to coins.  At age 6 my dad took me to my first antique fair where I was delighted to purchase a very worn Roman coin, and I have been hooked on collecting ever since.  Wondering where items have come from and who they could have belonged to in the past has always fascinated me. 

At J.W.B Coins and Collectables we take pride in offering a wide variety of items to suit all collectors requirements and having sold well over 100,000 coins in our fifteen years of trading, we must be doing something right.  Our coins have been purchased from all over the world, including by a Spanish television company, and have also featured in several popular BBC productions. I feel very privileged to have turned my passion into a career and take pleasure in being part of others collecting journeys. 

We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and are continually adding to our website collections however if you are looking for an item that isn’t listed, please contact us and we will look within our unlisted stock and do our best to procure this for you.  Additionally, if you are looking to sell any coins or collections, whether singular or a collection, please get in touch.
