>>20162719>Never heard about those festivals but it seems like a great idea because people not familiar with numismatics often tend to think old stuff is worth millionsThey're multi-day outdoor festivals where history nerds dress up in medieval/Renaissance costumes and do all sorts of reenactments, blacksmithing, jousting/swordplay and LARPing, sell arts and crafts like hand-spun and woven textiles, foods, wooden swords etc:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_fairMy thoughts about them being ripe and eager clientele are the same. Everyone at a Renaissance fair already appreciates history and enjoys things made like they were centuries ago but there aren't any actual authentic artifacts from back then at the fairs so they'd probably coom violently at the thought of being able to get genuine ancient and medieval coins in the $5-30 price range. I've got tons of ancients and have bought bulk lots of Russian wire money kopeks and medieval Hungarian denars that cost a few bucks or less each that they'd like. Lots of common circulated English hammered silver coins are easily available cheap too and would probably be most popular and relevant to all the Shakespearean and Elizabethan-era nerds hat gravitate to RenFairs. Got tons of ancient and medieval arrowheads and weaponry that would surely appeal to the combat reenactors and fans too. I think one could make an easy 5-10x flipping cheapies to those people, and they'd probably be way more excited about it than any normal jaded coin or artifact collector who would be less impressed by such common material.
>don't hesitate if i can be of any use (to proxy buy, send it oversea...).Thank you my fren, last night I reconnected with a trusted source in Cyprus I haven't bought from in 4 years and he says he's been detecting a lot and found some rare ancient stuff but new customs regulations make it hard to send outside the EU. Some of my favorite things in my collection (picrel) came from him so I'd love your help!
