Coin Shopping Around The World

Two write-ups in one week? I am not sure I can live at that speed!

Well done, of course, and thank you, again.

Say what? That it terrible!

I take it you are okay now, at least in health?

I hope you were able to get everything shut down. Were/are you able to remote wipe your phone? It is easy to do on the newer Android phones, not sure how to do it on Apple.

The path of least resistance.

Regardless, I am just glad you are okay. Things could have been worse.

That is good to hear.

It has been a few months since @ultrarant updated us as to his numismatic travels. Hopefully, that knock on the head has healed up nicely. While we are waiting to hear about somewhere exotic, I thought I could provide a small addition to this thread.

Earlier this year I was in Bermuda and stumbled across a small hoard of Brittish coppers (with a couple silver coins too) being sold. I didn't pick anything up for myself this time, but I did take a quick pic of the display case. The name of the business is "Bermuda Memories" and it is located in St. George.

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.

Over the Summer I visited Zürich Switzerland and stumbled across this weekly, Saturday-morning flea market where the river meets the lake (e.g. at Fraumünsterstrasse). There must have been 100 stalls, with most selling antiques of one sort or another (see pic), but also several selling 19th and 20th Century world coins, including some silver. I didn't see any obvious fakes, but didn't have a loupe nor a magnet, so potential buyers should still exhibit appropriate caution when making their purchases. Unfortunately, nothing excited me enough to break out my Francs.
