<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 127549, member: 283&quot;]I couldn&#039;t in all honesty recommend any of the shops that GD has mentioned. I&#039;m not sure that Argyll Coins and Antiques still exists (?) Hamilton&#039;s is fairly limited (and pricey).</p><p><br /></p><p>The one in Edinburgh I haven&#039;t been to in ages. it was more like Fort Knox than a shop, which is surprising really given the poor level of stock when I was there. AK Campbell&#039;s is primarily a jewellery business, Alex buys and sells over the counter, and their `stock&#039; consists of about a hundred or so mixed world coins.... Mind you I have bought a few coins from him...... but not in the past ten years.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is the occasional `coin fair&#039; but these are few and far between and rarely worth the effort going to them. Sorry, no markets of the type you can find in Spain.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another shop in Edinburgh which is a bit like AK Campbells (ie primarily a jewellers&nbsp; / antiques business but with coins as a side line. They are called Cavanaugh&#039;s, and they reside in Cockburn Street, Edinburgh.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another shop up in Dundee called `Cornucopia&#039;, in King Street. They deal in both coins and stamps. `The owner of Cornucopia used to run coin fairs in various locations in Scotland, but they never really attracted enough sellers to be viable for collectors to go along to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to see if there is anything on the agenda `coin fair&#039; wise in Edinburgh or around these parts that would be worth taking a detour for and get back to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
