Selling coins in Dunfermline
Dunfermline has an abbey holding the grave of Robert the Bruce, was the birthplace of the industrialist who became the greatest philanthropist of his age, and gained city status recently. It sits in Fife just across the bridges from the capital.
Commuter households move with jobs across the bridges, and substantial new housing on the edges means families are furnishing from scratch. The older centre turns over more slowly.
The town is compact and the abbey and the glen are the landmarks everyone uses. The bridges to the capital congest at peak times, so agree a realistic window if either of you is crossing.
If either of you is crossing the bridges, agree a time outside the peak. A collection that looks like twenty minutes on a map can take an hour at the wrong point in the day.

Put in the description
- Denomination, country, year and mint mark
- Whether graded and encapsulated by a third party, or ungraded
Denomination, year, country and grade: “1933 George V Penny, Fine” or “Silver Britannia 1oz 2015, Capsule”. Collectors search year and type. For bullion, weight and fineness are the search. Do not invent a grade — describe honestly or say ungraded.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
