Jimbo777 Valued Member United Kingdom 201 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 10:39 am Hi, I am looking forward to attending the London Coin Fair this weekend for the first time. Has anyone been to this fair and if so would you recommend it? My main collecting interest is greek and roman, but I also collect English and US coins. Also do you know if dealers expect cash or if most will accept credit cards? I would prefer not to carry a large wad of cash around unless I absolutely have to. Thanks Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo777 Valued Member United Kingdom 201 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 05:35 am Yeh I'm really looking forward to it actually. I usually buy my coins online either from auctions or dealers so will make a nice change to go to an event like this. I dont often get the chance to meet people with the same hobbie. Will make sure I take plenty of cash along. Got the Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibition just around the corner too wish is nice. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 07:17 am about the shows I have attended in the US, in order: - cash is king - I have sold coins/PM to one dealer and used that cash at another dealer to purchase - one dealer that I frequently visit, did take a check when asked one time - PM dealers might take a credit card, but it is doubtful Report this Post to the Staff
