We're just back from this year's ANDA show in Melbourne.  Here's our show report:

ANDA Coin and Banknote Show Melbourne 2013

And here's a couple of purchases.  The first, a nice little buffalo nickel (our first) and the second, a spectacular broadstruck New Zealand half crown.

Very very nice coins Markn!!!

Very nice coins indeed.

I totally forgot the show was on this weekend.   never mind, the RAM wasn't there so not much interest for me.

Love both of these- great pickup guys.!!!

Hey Mark,  does that half crown have a die crack through the "A" of LAND?

Yep.

That broadstrike is stunning!

Mark is stealing my glory. The half crown is from Klaus Ford, he's had it in his stock for a while, saw it last year but my interest in New Zealand is picking up more lately. Mark didn't want me to buy it, I'll probably never get back what I paid for it as I'm told no one collects NZ errors. But it's so pretty and being such a big coin it's impressive and the metal flow and that die crack are really cool.

Also picked up huge Bahamas $5 and $2 silver coins with pretty toning.

It was good to catch up with people at the show.The Mint's not being there really brought out the hardcore collectors I think.

That 1937-D Buffalo nickel is stunning. I have many Buffalo nickels and not one of them even comes close to the one shown.

Typical female, only goes for "pretty" things...............

For those that missed it, here are a couple of photos.

Firstly you're greated by a couple of friendly members of the Numismatic Association of Victoria:



Or maybe even the very happy members of the Melbourne Numismatic Society:



You can ask for information at the information table, or even purchase a journal or medallion:



Then you get to look at some award winning displays by members of Victorian clubs:









Or browse the concourse for a bargain:



You might even win the door prize!



Just remember to have fun!

Nice acquisitions. The Buffalo nickel is a great coin. Will admire with interest.

Great photos. Looks like some good fun. I can't wait until I can attend my first event.
