Coin Shop Reccomendations In London And Edinburgh

Never been to any coin shops in Edinburgh...

Sadly most of my favourite LCS's in London have closed. These ones are still open and I have visited them fairly recently:

Coincraft, 45 Great Russell Street (opposite British Museum) - sells a lot of overpriced common coins (often packaged into sets), but usually have a nice selection of high-range stuff and they also often sell recent-ish Royal Mint proof or boxed uncirculated coins and sets at below original issue price - their junk bin is worth checking out!

Gold Coin Exchange, 16 Charing Cross Road. Good selection of English crowns and gold, quality material but a little pricey.

Philip Cohen, 20 Cecil Court (near Covent Garden, close to the above). Bought a Victorian Gothic florin there recently for a reasonable price. They also had some sensibly priced Morgan dollars and other large World silver coins.

On a Saturday the Collectors Market at Charing Cross Railway Station is worth checking out. Sells stamps, coins and currency, but not as good as it used to be.
