<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24638256, member: 77639&quot;]I was in the British Museum last May.&nbsp; The main coin gallery is on the second floor (rm 68).&nbsp; However, many of the regional and epochal galleries have coins of the region and epoch on display.&nbsp; There are about 20 of these which are spread all over the 1st and 2nd floors.&nbsp; So, it will take some time and walking to see all the coins.&nbsp; There is also a coin study room, but you have to make an appointment in advance to gain access.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Coincraft store is across the street from the museum.&nbsp; They have mostly British coins but worth a visit.&nbsp; I spent some time talking with Richard, the owner.&nbsp;&nbsp; Interesting man who moved from Boston 50 years ago and started a very successful dealership.&nbsp; CNG also is across the street, but their London office is administrative only.</p><p><br /></p><p>A picture I took of a Syracuse decadrachm in the coin gallery is below.&nbsp; Couldn’t resist taking a pic of folks on the steps ignoring the sign.</p><p><br /></p><p>While you’re in England try Shropshire blue cheese.&nbsp; Amazingly good and very difficult to find in the U.S.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1567534[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1567535[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
