Got only one coin  very pleased with it - interesting new location with a great view over the thames .

Lots of dealers from abroad who you normally never see and some lovely eye candy on many stalls

Any coins? 

[oldcopper]

I went Saturday - never as good as the first day of course. The number of times I heard "that went yesterday" when enquiring about a coin.....I lost count! Still, I did pick up a nice one so not a wasted trip.

As for the eye candy.......

[copper123]

By eye candy I mean the Elizabethan and Mary gold and the many superb  other coins of the stuarts and the commonwealth.

It was not the sole reason for going, the afternoon was spent at kensington palace (was a bit dissapointed) and a lovely walk in hyde park (Superb)

My first choice was buckingham palace but I wrote to prince philip asking if he would invite me for tea and never got an answer

And he's normally such a pleasant and polite old gent. Always ready with a kindly, helpful remark. Ready to accommodate anyone.

Esp females that might be considered "eye candy"
