seuk Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Super! Seems I chose the right time for my London visit Quote
seuk Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Returned from the Charing Cross Market & London Coin Fair with a total of 3 (!) counterfeits . Unfortunately many dealers seems to be affraid or antagonistic towards selling contemporary counterfeits and hence completely avoids them. I noticed however that some of those dealers had no problem selling the awful 'pattern' fantasy coins...Anyway, got a few contacts which seems promising and had a great stay Quote
Englishpicker Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 The guy in notting hill is good, but does get busy at the weekend, DON'T go to 'Coin craft' by russell street station, quite rude in there I've found. Happy searching Quote
