I'm absolutely unsatisfied!!!
First of all very narrow roadways near the windows, occupied by chairs with the owner friends. Owner absolutely not interested what somebody come to his shop. I'm "turning" in the shop about half hour, nobody even see me, I am not talking already what nobody ask what you like maybe you need to help.... Same time if not talking about relation to buyer, just about shop, shop is quite interesting ...
Finally, just one positive thing from visiting of this shop was just my 6 kilometres walk to visit it 🤬.

by far one of the best prices for numismatics in singapore, junk pile coins are 0.30 each! great if you’re looking to buy in bulk, sleeved coins are very affordable as well!
quaint little shop with a nice selection of world coins. particularly old strait settlement and china coins,
plenty of sleeved coins to flip through and three large bargain tubs of world coins to sift through
uncle can be quite busy at times, usually has his kakis around/ walk in customers looking to sell off or appraise their stuff
