goomolique Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Im planning to go South Wales and Devon this august and was thinking if there are any coins related attractions/museums/fairs in those areas?Any suggestions welcome. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 The Royal Mint Museum is in Llantrisant. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 The Royal Mint Museum is in Llantrisant.Just found out it's closed. The Royal Mint no longer do tours and the exhibitions seem to mainly be at the Tower of London. Quote
Rob Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 You could visit all the Saxon mint locations in the South-west. That would give you a pleasant touring holiday Quote

Yes that was the reason i wanted to go South Wales, but since i found out its closed i need to find something coin related.Rob: I have only one day to spend on coins. Was thinking maybe a silver mine or similar. Quote
Peckris Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 The only dealer I know of down here (Devon) is Glenn Ogden. You could try his website to see when the next Fair (Phoenix?) is - they have a few coin dealers among all the postcards and stuff. But I'm afraid it's very much a coin-free region. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 There are a few antiques dealers at the Barbican in Plymouth and there are many coins there, but don't expect them to be reasonably priced. Quote
