Only one more show listed for 2010 and it's in Canberra, but at least you'll get a list of the ANDA Dealers in Melbourne.

Have you tried to find some coin clubs, I'm sure there must be a few in Melbourne as we have 2 here in Brisbane with monthly meetings.

I haven't been able to attend meetings at the 2 clubs I belong to for a couple of years now, but there's roughly 20 - 30 people there each monthly meeting, they discuss anything remotely numismatic, show their latest acquisitions, have a 'topic' for each meeting where each person is encouraged to bring along any items they have that relate to the 'topic' and give a little presentation.

They have a few auctions each year, where members can supply a list of any items they want to sell, I'm not 100% sure whether this happens every three months or every 4, or maybe just twice a year. It could differ from club to club.

I think you can also take along items you have for sale to each meeting and do private deals on the night.

For the 18 or so months when I was able to attend, I did find I was pretty well the only female there. A little disconcerting at times, but on the whole every one was very friendly and willing to help in any way they could.

There's usually a light supper for a small contribution.
