    All the regular coin/note dealers were there, the only one I noticed missing was Keith from the UK. The room was a bit smaller than Feb.

    I went along to this also. I managed to pay twice the admission price by going in the wrong door and being charged €10 for the 'Over 55's' show despite saying to the person on the door I only wanted to go to the stamp part of the exhibition.

    I thought the amount of coin/medal dealers was pretty good really. Not much interest in stamps but wanted to get some archival paper and acid free document storage solutions.

    Seeing as I had paid for the over 55's show I decided to check it out and it was more interesting bizarrely enough. There were lots of genealogy & local history & related stands & information, photo restoration, History Ireland magazine stall selling back issues for peanuts, National Library of Ireland stall, archeology Ireland, also a woman selling genealogy document storage solutions.

    didnt get up to this in the end, made a few atempts but no joy,
    was there anything out of the ordinary on offer there or was it just run of the mill stuff? any of the dealer doing good deals or had some rare items?

    I literally just went to pick stuff up and drop stuff off, so I was only there for about an hour and only had a quick glance around. Same ole stuff, though you can always get rare items from the likes of the American guy Del Parker, if you're willing to pay through the nose that is.
