In connecticut?

ScarsdaleCoin · May 16, 2007 6:15AM

Yes, Greenwich Civic Center, just over the NY border..... helps dealers because of the tax rules on sale of coins!

Steve · May 16, 2007 6:34AM

Jon,
This really sounds great. If you get some national dealers and PCGS reps there, you will have a successful show. One point of concern. The White Plains shows always have a "crowd" there for the opening. Giving away 100 silver dollars and 100 Red Books could cause some problems with probably a few hundred people there well before the doors open. Just a thought.

Oh baby! Right in my backyard!! I will definitely be attending this one. Who else is definitely going? Maybe we can have a PCGS board member meeting. I will bring the tea and cookies.

mommam17 · May 16, 2007 7:06AM

I`m 2 towns away. Count me in!

ksteelheader · May 16, 2007 7:08AM

October!!!

I may even try to go to this one. It'll be a few hundred miles, but....

RareBronzeCollector · May 16, 2007 7:14AM

I'd like to go..... if I can get a ride........

Julian · May 16, 2007 7:24AM

It sounds like an interesting idea, Jon. I do not see any conflicts with other shows, with the exception of PAN in Monroeville, PA. I would rather it be a three day show, but it could grow into that. I may take a table.

fc · May 16, 2007 7:28AM

my gf and i may show up. this is actually somewhat close.

RYK · May 16, 2007 7:40AM

I'll go if mgoodm3 drives and picks me up.

laxmaster92 · May 16, 2007 8:00AM

Very cool!
How far from Long Island is the show?

WTCG · May 16, 2007 8:27AM

I definitely wish Jon all the best and may this show be a great one in the future.

RareBronzeCollector · May 16, 2007 8:42AM

Is there a way to get there by public transportation from NYC (Queens)????

SeaEagleCoins · May 16, 2007 8:54AM

Jon --- This sounds like a show that could turn into a real winner for everyone !!! I would not miss it... my application is already on the way...

ScarsdaleCoin · May 16, 2007 9:24AM

We are really listening to your ideas.....I promise to give it 110% and really put some SHOW into the event.... the dealer response has been fantastic, we have major dealers from all over the US coming......... yes we have already put aside a room for PCGS forum members to meet and refreshements will be served..... easy train from NYC....thanks for your kind words and support!

coindeuce · May 16, 2007 10:00AM

Road Trip! I'll be screaming down I-87 Jon!

nickel · May 16, 2007 10:36AM

To RareBronze --
not 100 percent on the particulars , but I think
Metro North runs out of Grand Central on the Stamford -
New Haven Line

DaveG · May 16, 2007 10:41AM

RareBronzeCollector:

The venue is right next to the train line, so check out where the MetroNorth/New Haven Line stations are and check the timetables from Grand Central on a Saturday or Sunday.

RareBronzeCollector · May 16, 2007 10:52AM

Nickel & DaveG....

Thanks, I'll check it out....... Convenient enough if it's near the station.......

oreville · May 16, 2007 2:28PM

Marvelous location, timing and approach to getting out the numbers for the show.

Have you approached the major grading services for their participation in the show?

Try to keep the show AFTER October 17th of each year!

ScarsdaleCoin · May 16, 2007 10:19PM

We know 1 tpg has already sent payment for a table and committed to accepting submissions at the show.....working on the others! The dealer list is amazing!

Coinfest is the show not to miss!

<< <i>We know 1 tpg has already sent payment for a table and committed to accepting submissions at the show.....working on the others! The dealer list is amazing!

Is the TPG company one that is actually respected, or one that believes their place in the heirarchy of TPG respectability is much higher than they actually are?

Come to think of it, I think I already know which company it is.

VTCoins · May 17, 2007 2:46PM

"Make checks payable to Wanabe, Inc."

I like the name!

CoinRaritiesOnline · May 17, 2007 10:47PM

Excellent, Jon!

Longacre · May 17, 2007 11:06PM

Jon--

any idea when you might disclose the dealer list (or are those typically kept confidential)?

I can't wait for this show.

ScarsdaleCoin · May 18, 2007 1:02AM

We have dealer list up, however names added only after we receive contracts back..... the information to dealers is going out over the next month...so it will be a month or so til you have a good solid list ..... as far as I can tell, the show will have a really great mix of dealers..... local, regional, national.....

TwoSides2aCoin · May 18, 2007 1:27AM

Speaking of timing and approach , that is a nice golf course across the tracks. Sand traps seem to protect every green. Can you say WEDGIT ?

I'm just bumping the thread as a public service announcement

What is the name of the course? Maybe we can schedule the first annual CoinFest Golf Outing.

MrBeast · May 18, 2007 4:09AM

Grrrrreat!

MidAtlanticCoins · May 18, 2007 5:30AM

ttt to say that we have agreed to make the trip up north to support the show

Looking forward to seeing the colors of the season change....

Longacre · May 18, 2007 6:04AM

I tend to go to Asia during this time of year, but I am trying to make sure The Man™ works around this show schedule. I need to also check the website to see which dealers have signed up already.

I think that Innis Arden is private, but there are lots of great courses in the area. Maybe board member gyocomgd can get us a tee time at Winged Foot.

Longacre · May 18, 2007 6:30AM

This is UNBELIEVABLE. I literally just got an email from The Man™ telling me to save the dates of October 22nd through the 26th to go to Beijing. I need to quickly check out the flights, but my meeting will end at 1 PM on Friday, and if I get a night flight, I think I get back to NY at approximately Friday evening with the time and date change (hopefully I am calculating this correctly). So maybe I can swing getting to the show on Saturday or early on Sunday. I have the worst luck.
