    Anyone interested? Doesn't seem to be too much in the way of coin clubs down here in the southeast. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll arrange it!

    Too far for me. Are you in the Numismatics Society? Meetings every Friday in Dublin except the Summer months.

    If you are going to the October coin fair at the RDS you can sign up there, it's 20 euro for the year, they have regular lectures, presentations, competitions and an auction at Christmas. Some people travel up to it from all over the country, might even be someone from your area.

    Yeah, theres 2 major ones on every year at the RDS in Feb and Oct, then theres a smaller one somewhere in between those.

    For some reason it doesn't mention the coins part here but the October one is combined with Stampa: http://www.rds.ie/cat_event_detail.jsp?itemID=667

    thats because stampa doesnt like coin dealers, they consider us to be too vulgar:confused::confused:, something about being obsessed by the monitary value of our stock while they appreciate the beauty of their collection

    at stampa the coin dealers are always pushed off into the far corner of the room and partitioned off from the stamp dealers

    But the stamp guys are weirdos! As you know you have to walk through their area first and I remember once this weirdo standing around shouting his head off and laughing out loud with a piercing laugh, I had to look around for the cameras which aren't an unusual sight at those fairs.

    One of the main men behind stampa is also into coins and has been to a few NSI meetings so the two are closer than you think. Stampa is their gig after all so they get the first area but in the last few years they brought in the coin guys. As far as I remember there was only the one fair in Feb before that. However this is the first year that Stampa haven't even mentioned the coin side of it, be it on the RDS site or their own site or news letter, so maybe theres something going on, will soon find out.
