Petersham Coin Fair (Sydney)

I will be there.
My first coin show in since it was last held at this venue, after a year of delay due to CV-19.

For the info of our American friends:
There has been no new CV-19 cases in New South Wales for at least two months (probably much longer) Currently 35 in Victoria, average of 40,000 tests per day over the last week or so, to find and isolate them.

CV-19 protocol for coin show:
- if unwell, do not attend
- masks compulsory for everybody
- max 220 people at any one time, if more, new arrivals have to wait outside
- 1.5m min social distancing within venue
- everybody has to be signed in with accurate contact details, there is a government phone app for this.
- customers can only touch items they intend to purchase
- hand sanitizer at every dealer table
- contactless payment strongly encouraged.
- food canteen area will not be operating.
All of these compulsory restrictions are in place, despite current zero CV-19 cases in NSW.

Almost all Australians (not all), are perfectly happy to comply these sorts of restrictions at community events, and have been doing so since the CV-19 threat first emerged.
That is why CV-19 has been almost non existent in Australia, compared to most other countries around the World.

Had my tetravalent 'flu shot months ago, as well as the first of two CV-19 shots 2 weeks later.
Distemper shot will follow next week.

Sadly didn't find any coin to buy, seem like all the good stuff was already bought, I think cause of silver price rise most of what I wanted went upwards in prices :(. Did get to see loads of different coins and what not surprised people brother to take stuff to sell to dealer maybe gold ones make sense, other than that doubt it's profitable. Basically no masks :)

Spent AUD $425 at the show today.

Also noted that Roxburys Auctions (sale 108) has 40 Roman aureii from an old Iranian collection coming up for sale, on July 9th, 10th and 11th.
Lots available for viewing on line from 1st July.
Spoke to Roxburys manager at Petersham.

you should ask or call them, but I'm assuming its on 29th this month. Entry is 2 dollars I believe unless your a kid which I think is free (not sure on the kid thing).

:D nice one Sel_69l

hmm do they make a commemorative coin for the coin fair? ill probably just going to pick up some plastic sheets for album and maybe coin roll holders hoping that someone has some dollar coin ones, then browse some of the coins.

Not sure what sheets they might be would hope a coin show wouldn't be selling blinder pages with PVC, might try to pick up some silver if it can drop a bit more and maybe abc post office rolls as well.

Very nice!
