Should be good.

Looks like this is the replacement for the Vic Power-organised shows.

No, it's in the same venue as the former VPcoins show, but this is the one founded by one of the stamp guys from the Collectors Club that meets at Garden City Library. They held one at the same place about this time last year too. So it's a "Stamp and Coin Show", with emphasis on the first word.

I'll be going there this afternoon, with my brother (who's an ex-stamp collector trying to get back into it now his daughter is growing up).
Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

Yes it was more stamps than coins but there were about 5 or 6 good coin sellers there. I managed to pick up a few nice things for a good price.

I always like rummaging through the ice cream containers of junk coins. You never know what you might find.

This time I found a 1933 New Zealand George the 5th Florin which is .500 Silver in very good condition. Cost me 20 cents. I think these are worth at least $20 in the condition this one is in. Also found a couple of Timor Leste coins, I have never even seen any of them before. I also picked up a few other bits and pieces very cheaply which I can use for swapping on Numista. New Caledonia and French Polynesia coins seem to go down well with swappers in Europe

I also got 2 UK £5 coins from 2009 & 2011 commemorating the countdown to the 2012 London Olympics in mint condition for $10 each
Plus a 1983 UK Four Coin set that included, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey & UK 1 pound coins in mint condition for $10

So went away quite happy with my haul.

Cheers Mike
