Dont go to the coin Fair without your Glasses LOL
Hi all well decided to trat myself at a small regular coin fair in Charing Cross (Central London) not as well attended today due to another plusher event taking place elsewhere
Well I fully intended to pick up a few bits of silver but the guy I normaly buy modern from was absent so of to my Roman dealer went I only to discover I had taken the wrong glasses with me and could not clearly see anything LOL
I came away with the selection below 1 French Napoleon III Gold 10F 5 Roman $ Silver and one with a copper core a unknown Indian Silver and a Black Sea area silver.
I will get the books out later LOL One good thing though at least I will have fun sorting them and they were very reasonable.
