Midland Coin Fair

[LemmyMcGregor]

Hey chaps, I'm new to precious metals and spent the last few days looking around and trying to learn a thing or two, if anything, I now feel more ignorant than when I started... had a look around for different shops to buy silver coins, then come across the Midland Coin Fair (https://www.coinfairs.co.uk/events/midland-show-2022-04-10/), which leads to my questions: am I likely to find some new Silver Britannia to buy? What are the prices going to be compared to different websites?

I suppose they could be mildly cheaper not having shipping, would it be worth a visit rather than buying online? Well, if you don't live too far from it... I'm not too far down the road and I wouldn'y mind paying petrol and having a day out, would probably be interesting on a general level even just to see what I could find there.

The Midland coin fair will be mostly aimed at collectors of UK predecimal coinage, but there will almost certainly be a few dealers who have silver Britannias, bullion sovereigns etc.  I haven't been for about 5 years but I imagine that's probably still the case today.  Prices will be competitive and you may be able to negotiate with them a bit, depending on what you are buying.

If nothing else, it's a good day out and will be fascinating if you are interested in seeing a lot of rare and beautiful historical coins.  Be warned though... it's a slippery slope 😉
