Our local coin club the Numismatic Society of South Australia is preparing for THE coin event of 2016 -the NSSA Coin, Banknote, Stamp & Collectable Expo to be held on the weekend of December 3rd and 4th 2016. Save the date everyone! This will be one of the last coin shows on the Australian numismatic calendar for 2016 and it’s big news for Adelaide and South Australians. Show organiser Richard Welling, president of the NSSA and owner of Ye Olde Coin Co promises it to be a great show and will help collectors to have a very numismatic Christmas.
Local and interstate dealers will be attending as well as people who just want to sell stuff -how cool is that! Attendees include Barrie Newman of the Adelaide Mint, Canberra Numisco, David Figg, Downies Melbourne, Edlins of Canberra, Eric Van Kruyssen, I.S Wright, Joe Peplinski, John Watson from Melbourne, Kevin Keepence, Mick Vort-Ronald, Steele Waterman Melbourne, Stephen Cole Salamanca Coins, The Purple Penny/The Australian Coin Collecting Blog, Tony Byrne coins,Trevor Wilkin Banknotes, Universal Coin Company Melbourne and Ye Olde Coin Co.
The show will be held in the heart of Adelaide at the Torrens Parade Ground Hall where there is free parking. It’s where the Royal Australian Mint had their pop-up shop on the Changeover Tour last ANZAC Day. The show will be open Saturday 3rd December 10 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 4. There will be an auction held Sunday afternoon. Light refreshments will also be available to purchase. There is also plenty of accommodations in close proximity ranging from cheap and cheerful to the extravagant for those needing to stay overnight.
The best news is that entry is free, so you have more…..money…..to spend on…….money.
If you have any coins, banknotes, stamps, collectables or associated ephemera and you’d like to see what they are worth then pop into the coin expo. Dealers will be buying and selling coins, banknotes and stamps as well as offering advice and providing valuations.
During the show there will be a raffle, tickets $1 each. 5 prizes include 1. Near Complete Australian Penny & Halfpenny sets in 2 albums, over 100 different dates/mintmarks. 2.
