Hi Joe,
First thing I would recommend is that you come to a Calgary Numismatic Society meeting. We meet at 19:30 on the 4th
Tuesday of every month at the Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Centre at 1320 - 5th Ave NW, one block east of 14 St NW in
Kensington.
Here is the link
http://www.calgarynumismaticsociety.org/meetings.htmlGuests are always welcome and if you decide to join the membership is very cheap, approx $15.
All the members will be pleased to give their personal preferences for dealers, plus some of the members are always
selling coins, notes, tokens, etc.
As for buying online, I suggest extreme caution as there are many fake and forgeries out there and you can get badly
stung.
For dealers, it all depends on what you are looking for.
A few dealers are:
Jim Harrison - at the Crossroads Farmers market - 26 Ave SE across from the Blackfoot and Ogden Rd intersection. Near the
food court.
Clyde Vincent (Keith) - at the Crossroads Farmers market - 26 Ave SE across from the Blackfoot and Ogden Rd intersection.
(on south side)
Alyth Coin (Bob) in the small plaza beside/off the exit from Ogden road to Blackfoot Trail east.
Calgary Coin (Robert) - 1404 Centre St SE. you have to knock on the door to get in.
It's a pity you didn't post this a few weeks back as we had a big coin show in Calgary on the 12 & 13 of Sept.
Also this Saturday (Oct 3) there will be a collectable show at the Thornecliffe-Greenview Community centre 5600 Centre St
N.
There is usually a few people selling coins there.
I will be there helping a friend.
I will have 2 cases of coins and notes, he will have collectables like
hockey mugs, pins and books. We are both members of the Calgary coin club.
We will be in the smaller of the two rooms. As you walk in the entrance to the small room, we be one of the first set of
tables you see ahead and slightly to the left (isle) of the door.
Al and I will be please to give you some tips.
Hope you can make it to either or both events.
Jack
