<p>[QUOTE="Milesofwho, post: 6642620, member: 91469"]I did so while I was in Paris and in London almost four years ago. Fittingly, all the coin dealers in Paris (or at least a decent chunk of them) were located on the Rue de Richelieu. Most of the shops were expensive but one had really good material at good (by my reckoning) prices. The only problem was that I didn’t speak French. In London it was a better experience chiefly because I could communicate better. While I was there, I visited Baldwin’s and Coincraft. It was wonderful being able to discuss my interest in Byzantine money at Baldwin’s, but none of the staff I met specialized in it! They recently have undergone a aesthetic redesign but I will always remember the cabinets and their trays of coins behind that counter. One of the things that was really nice about going in person was not only being able to physically look at the coins but also see the ones more in my range (<£100) that would never make it to the online site. Coincraft was interesting as well because they sell antiquities in addition to coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
