The Coin Fair provides an opportunity for people to buy coins, talk coins and get advice relating to collecting and investing in coins, medallions, tokens, artefacts and bank notes.
The Harrogate Coin fair started in 1991 and is now run by John and Sophie Philpotts who have many years of experience running and attending similar events nationally and internationally.
