Looking forward to maybe meeting a few of the TSF members tomorrow at the Coin Fair in London!

Looking forward to it!! 

I’ll bring a Victorian crown so you know it’s me!

£5 on the door for Ticket I believe. 
Looking forward to it. 

Anyone with a sigma pro verifier going to be there? Interested to see it in operation. Or potential buy one!

I'd love to be going but I won't be there. Maybe the next one though.

I'll be there.

Hi folks - quick question please - do they sell gold cons as well as silver, etc? Thank you

[TerryGriffiths]

Sounds like a cue for a song, but which one?

Wikipedia lists 30 different songs with the same title:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'll_Be_There

None of which is the one I was thinking of, which is "Reach Out I'll Be There", by  Holland–Dozier–Holland, and first recorded by the Four Tops, in 1967.

I went. Just got back. There were some pretty incredible coins there. Highlight for me was being able to not only source an 1893 Jubilee Half sovereign, but also buy it!

Yes good. A few passionate sells there happy to share a bit of knowledge. I never knew that some of the scratch marks on my hammered coins are not actually scratch marks but point there they use to scratch off silver off the blanks if too heavy! Or some of the splits are where the coin fractured when was first hammered. Very cool!! 
 
Also inspired everyone to join TSF! There was a couple blokes with a bullion company that were keen, and had some great prices around £23.70 a brit. Not bad a’  

Oh and a spent to much money in the auction. Unless you know exactly what your after you could easily pay over the odds though. Some bloke was flogging the 007 3 coin (2oz?) series for like £2-3k?!? 🤔… and we all know how well that series went down 🧐

It was good mate, I managed to hold back and not go crazy even though it would of been very easy too, picked up some nice American coinage, not loads there but a few bargain to be had, went on the piss after…. Missed the last train and had to get a taxi for £220 🤣 done it properly 🍺
