I wonder how many people contact dealers offering to square up 6 months later if a coin comes back from grading higher than expected?

Planning to pop along on Sunday all being well, and hopefully should have been paid by then too!

The Yorkshire coin fair is being held at Cedar Court Huddersfield this Sunday opens 09.30-14.00. I would advise to get there in the morning before midday to see all of the dealers. Details are available on the website www.yorkshirecoinfair.com

The show is open this Sunday to the public at 09.30am. Please check all details at www.yorkshirecoinfair.com , masks are not mandatory but we would recommend for everyone’s health and safety if possible they could be worn.

It might be worth checking out the York Stamp and Coin fair website and organisers as there are certain covid requirements and proof that are required for entrance tomorrow and Saturday.
My advice to anyone attending a coin show unless they have good reputation and know the dealers is to take cash. A small amount as have been mentioned might accept cards. 

Jersey issued the 1972 proof silver wedding set (5 gold coins and 4 silver coins). Often sets are split up and the five gold coins can be bought at small premiums over spot.

I think it all depends on how much pleasure you get from owning it and what else you would spend the money on.
If i were to buy an ounce of gold at £1400 and the price dropped to £1200 next year i would probably tell myself i'm still £1200 better off than i would be if i'd spent the money on wine, women and raucous behaviour. I just wouldn't have the memories 😁

I have no experience organising such but I'm happy to help out in whatever capacity I can.
Maybe @neilsmithcoins could put us in touch with the people who organise the Yorkshire one for some tips?

I attended this show today and can highly recommend it to fellow forum members. Lots of variety and something for everyone, prices were very reasonable from most dealers and it was an enjoyable experience.
Will certainly go again in the new year.
 

Thank you Lawrence, it would be nice to catch up. 
 
Unfortunately , Lancashire is a bit to far away for us to run a show. I think that needs to be left to the local dealers to run. 😉

I hope this "new" fair is successful, Neil.
Even with the extra hour, I don't think I could get to Huddersfield before 9.30, or even 2.00!
How about organising a Lancashire Coin Fair?
I could make it to Blackpool, and it would be good to see you again.
🙂

No problem!
(Have you seen the price of the tickets?) 😎

Excellent, thanks for the head's up. Any forum members planning to attend? I may see you there!

Thank you for spotting and correcting that,much appreciated. I will stand in the corner after I have written it out 100 times for detention. 👍
At present the covid restrictions are the same as at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury London coin fair and the Midland Coin fair. Masks are requested to be worn but can not be enforced. However if the government rules change before the 31st October the fair will adhere to whatever the current policies are at that time. 

You missed the "e" out of yorkshire. Go stand in the naughty corner!😄

Do you know if there will be any covid restrictive entrance rules?

Following on from a few earlier posts about 2022 gold sovereigns, Year of the Tiger:
There is to be a new fifty pence design relating to insulin.
Here is our quick visualisation:

We do not yet have full details, but:
The Royal Mint Innovation in Science Series: Insulin 50p
Next we have a potential new addition to the Innovation in Science Series, which already includes coins celebrating the work of Stephen Hawking, Rosalind Franklin and John Logie Baird. The design will feature a depiction of insulin molecules, along with the chemical formula for it. Insulin is commonly used in the treatment of diabetes. 
We don't know if the coin is commemorating a specific event related to insulin and it's discovery, but we have some ideas. 2021 marks 100 years since the hormone was discovered by Scottish biochemist John Macleod, and Canadian scientists, Frederick Banting and Charles Best. 
In 1951, British scientist Frederick Sanger produced the first full structure of the amino acid. It was the first protein ever to be fully sequenced sand allowed scientists to further understand it. The coin could possibly commemorate 70 years since this scientific breakthrough. 
As we're already in August, we think it's more likely to be a 2022-dated coin. If that's the case, it may be celebrating the 100th anniversary since insulin was first used in the treatment of diabetes. Often regarded as one of the most historic breakthroughs in medical history, insulin has saved the lives of millions of people around the world. 
The full list of coins we can expect to see is below. 
Denomination Metal Diameter Weight Fineness Actual Metal Weight 50 Pence Gold 27.3 mm 15.5 g 916.7 0.457 oz 50 Pence Silver Piedfort 27.3 mm 16 g 925 0.476 oz 50 Pence Silver 27.3 mm 8 g 925 0.238 oz 50 Pence Cupro-Nickel 27.3 mm 8 g N/A N/A  
We will be adding more as we learn about them, and they will be added here:
