We've already had an ANDA show this year in Melbourne. So now all the Malvern shows are going to be ANDA shows too??? I doubt the table fees at an APTA show are as pricey as those for the ANDA show -for a dealer. But what's the difference then?

Im sure they are quite a bit cheaper, there is no Royal or Perth mint stands but there are bigger local dealers and some do travel, Mark Tyson from Coinsearch.com was there last time, Trevor Wilkins, Stephen from Salamanca Rare Coins and Steele Waterman to name a few so its a worth while show to go to. Im not to sure what ANDA's roll is in this show, Last one was about 3 months ago and they do do a PNC overprint so if anyone interstate was interested. I can get for you at cost plus the postage of your choice. Here is the link anyhow if anyone is interested http://www.apta.com.au/

For those who went, worth going to tomorrow? Have gone previously, however, my recollection is that it was mainly a stamp show.

More coin dealers than stamp dealers me thinks.

Plenty of room to move about and no pushy crowds.

the stampies are moving into the coins as well, cause that is where the money is now that stamps are so flat  
pity though, as they really don't care about the coins, just the money

watch the way they handle the coins and you will see why I said what I said
