I have an opportunity to go to Dublin next weekend and do some coin shopping.

I know that there are at least two coin shops and am hoping ( praying ) that they stock a wider variety of coins then just Irish mintage.

Believe it or not but this will be my first time in a coin shop !!

( I told ya there isn't much numismatic activity in my area ).

If I buy anything I will have it photographed by my brother in law who is an excellent photographer and I'll post the photos on this thread.

    I'd kill to be in your position. I'd buy all the gem irish I could get my hands on. Go to Temple Bar and get hammered.
    Everything I write is my opinion.

    Looking for alot of crap.

    Well I didn't end up buying any coins for myself !!!!!

    I bought a 2005 Irish Proof Piece for the little fella ( the Bro & Sis in-laws little baby ) who was born in 2005.

    Other then that I bought a World Coin Catalogue ( 1801 - 1900 ), The Sovereign - the worlds most famous coin book ( you know the one ), a magnifying glass and heaps of coinholders & coin holder leaves.

    But....I now know where the coin shops are in Dublin so I may buy & sell at leisure next time I'm up.
