There are numismatic associations of both dealers and researchers in many countries, but they and FENAP seem not to have much in common. <br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-89168725208272162492015-04-12T02:05:19.595-07:002015-04-12T02:05:19.595-07:00I was asking, not answering. Anyhow, the question ...I was asking, not answering. Anyhow, the question is whether there are there "numismatic organizations" that regroup and organise "professional numismatists".

Yet the coineys are always stressing that there are "open markets" in many source countries, so do you mean that these markets are not in the hands of professional numismatists? <br /><br />In Poland the term professional numismatist means something than shopkeepers, and of course there are numismatic organizations here, just they seem to be more involved with numismatic matters and not simply making profits. <br /><br /><br /><br />Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-14979871351629017012015-04-12T01:29:37.655-07:002015-04-12T01:29:37.655-07:00F.E.N.A.P. is the federation of European Professio...F.E.N.A.P. is the federation of European Professional Numismatic Associations. Did you consider the possibility that countries such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia might not have Professional Numismatic Associations?!Hadrien J.
