Description
The London Coin Fair is the largest collector fair of its type in the UK. Fairs have been organised since the 1960`s and Simmons have been responsible for them since 1982. In the very early days only 30 dealers exhibited and used it as a central London showcase. Now it provides a London meeting place for provincial and foreign dealers, as well as the big London firms and the specialist one-man businesses. There is now on average between 65-75 dealers at each show. The range of material is vast, from pocket money coins in `junk boxes` to the highest rarities in the British numismatic series. Coins ancient and modern, British and foreign, plus tokens, commemorative medals, some war medals, banknotes, tokens, books and accessories for the hobby are all to be found at the fair. Because many ancient coin dealers also deal in artefacts, we also allow exhibitors to show some antiquities - pre-1700, mainly metal such as brooches and buckles, but including classic Greek and Roman ceramic pots and lamps. Jewellery is restricted to coin jewellery only.
