Spence Moderator United States 33739 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 8:43 pm Another stop for me in Switzerland was Geneva. Here are two potential shops to check out if you are downtown: The first is a stamp shop right near Place de la Synagogue. The other is Chaponniere & Associates, which is a little further south on Avenue du Mail. Unfortunately, I didn't get to actually pop into either establishment as it was after hours, but Chaponniere had a PCGS sticker on the door and a few medals and coins in the shop window.

Spence Moderator United States 33739 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 07:03 am Thanks @CM and @scopru! I wish that @ultrarant was still around CCF as was really well-traveled.

jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 09:02 am Quote: For folks visiting the Principality of Andorra (nestled in the Pyrenees between Spain and France), there is a shop called "Companyia Internacional del Brillant" in the capitol of Andorra la Vella. It seems to specialize in bullion rather than being a pure LCS, but is worth a quick look if you are in the area. Just a side travel note, I highly recommend Andorra to anyone traveling in Barcelona (fairly short bus ride through the Pyrenees) or Southern France. Without a doubt, it is one of the beautiful places I have ever seen in my life.

Spence Moderator United States 33739 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 8:51 pm I'm sure that there are several very nice LCSs in San Diego, but I recently stumbled across Lost Cities in the Old Town section of SD. I found that in addition to their main business selling beads and beading supplies, there are a few stacks of 20th Century copper coins from British West Africa. I picked up this Penny dated 1942 AD. Yes it is pretty beat up (and actually perhaps has a little bronze disease), but I couldn't resist.

Spence Moderator United States 33739 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 07:53 am I was wandering up Com Ave (Commonwealth Avenue) in Boston recently and stumbled upon the LCS Kenmore Collectibles. They have a bunch of sports cards and memorabilia to go with a couple cases of coins. The coins seemed to be mostly US silver and copper, with a little gold and some 20th Century world coins displayed as well. I didn't see any stamps, but evidently they have those as well. The place was hopping when I stopped in so I didn't get a chance to chat with the guys behind the counter at all.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7364 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 08:56 am Just found this thread. Great fun reading! I don't travel for work any more, so when I travel it's usually with someone who's not quite as interested in coins as I am. However, in 2014 we spent some time in Ireland, including a stop at a small coin shop in St. George's Arcade in downtown Dublin, close to Trinity College (sorry I couldn;t find the name, and no photo). http://www.georgesstreetarcade.ie/ There are bins of various U.K. coins (typical well worn large coppers from Victoria through ELizabeth, WWII era coins, etc), but if you ask, they also have selection of older Irish and U.K. coins kept a bit farther from the passing crowds. We picked up a "gun money" coin from the late 1600s, as my spouse is a student of Tudor & Stuart history. Report this Post to the Staff
