As has been said multiple times, so many I would love to visit with and saying that, Joe Best, @crazyhounddog is still my pick. A sad moment in my life happened when I went on vacation some years ago and stayed a week at a rental property on Melbourne Beach, Fl. I found out later that a truly great forum friend lived within a mile or two from where we stayed, Walkerguy21D. Greg and his wife have been so helpful to me over the years it about killed me that I could have met them and spent time with them. Just didn't know until I was home a week or two later.

I haven't seen any coin peeps for over a year, so I'm not going to be picky at this point. I have had the pleasure of meeting with and/or breaking bread with many here at shows and look forward to it again. For those I haven't met, I can't think of anyone I'd be inclined to tell to pound sand off the top of my head.

Not to mention, if someone were to pound sand off the top of your head, it might be very painful (and messy)!

I met @messydesk at a show a few years ago, and enjoyed lunch with him and others. I think we have a lot in common and I would enjoy an afternoon together...talking 19th century coins, photography, and the hobby.

I think CaptHenway would be my choice. I think we would have a very interesting conversation. Although he would be more interesting than me in all probability.
@CaptHenway would be my very close second, but first place is a tie between @Zoins and @DCW . . . .
Easy to do if you come to a Florida coin show. Just look up the ICG table.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I’d love to spend an afternoon looking through @bolivarshagnasty toned Jefferson set. Between his and @crazyhounddog 5 Cent pieces, I have ventured into acquiring nicely toned coins.
The heck with all the boring guys, I'd spend the afternoon with @ThePennyLady Charmy Harker, enjoying fine California reds whilst discussing US cents. Also her dad's service including being at Pearl Harbor on 7th December.

Thank you, I'm honored and would welcome you (and any other forum member) at my table to share some wine and interesting penny talk (and of course my Dad) at whatever next coin show we find ourselves!

Roomed with him some years ago at a ANA Summer Seminar. I was in charge of coffee, he was in charge of stories......
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Coffee?
I used to do this with Colonel Jessup, and coins were only a minor part of the conversation. Miss having him around. Hope he's all right.

Yeah, it would. I still have hair.

@SmEagle1795 would be an excellent choice as I would love to see his collection of of ancients and other coins as well !
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Roger Burdette....Except he's a numismatist and doesn't really collect.
And I guess he's banned.
Can I pick a banned person?
My Saint Set
I'll second that.

Never met them, but gratefully they are memorialized in the archives.

@Insider2
We could discuss grading and counterfeits.
I'd say Burdette, @saintguru , Steve Duckor, Doug Winter and Laura Sperber. Perhaps @cladking too.

Insider2 is a close 2nd.
edit Charmy!
I would like to spend a few afternoons with Q. David Bowers.
They're both good people. Unfortunately they couldn't behave.
We're all the losers because of it.

Did anyone say @Bochiman ? He knows a dude that makes extra special nachos.
Just sayin’
I've had the good fortune to spend time with a number of well known forum members. Always a good time when discussing coins and the hobby.
We'd have a blast. I have lots to show that I haven't gotten around to posting yet!
