Who is going? For many will be the first show in quite some time. I made a decision today to go, can't wait. I will do my daily show reports so stay tuned here for that.
Best, SH

Definitely- can’t wait!
I will be there! I’m looking forward to it. It sure would be nice to find some great Mercury Dime toners.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
I'll be there. Working at Sheridan Downey's tables (223-225-227).
Drop by to say hi. Check out his Mail/Bid auction #55 of bust half dollars. Some really special coins.
Lance.

I’ll be there every day, as I’m showing my first ever Exhibit. It’s a five case Educational Exhibit about Indian Head Cents, built around my “Unique” Registry Set! While my Registry Set has a current rank of #8, that’s NOT what makes it unique. Hopefully everyone that sees the Exhibit can learn something interesting about IHC’s they may not have known.
Other than when I roam the Bourse Thursday morning through early afternoon, most of the rest of the time I’ll be hanging out around my exhibit. Please stop by to say “Hi” and introduce yourself! While you’re there, look at all of the exhibits, and make sure to vote for the exhibit you like best for “The Peoples Choice Award”!
Here’s my photo (I won’t be wearing a jacket and bow-tie):

I’ll be there!
Cherokee Coin will be at table 1006, we'll have an exciting array of certified Liberty Seated, Trade, Morgan, Peace dollars, and even a few early German Thalers for sale.
planning to attend on friday
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Looks as if it will be a well attended show - especially by forum members. Hope to see lots of show reports. Cheers, RickO
Hey Lance. Looking forward to meeting you in person.
I went to Sheridan’s website and didn’t see the #55 auction posted. Do you have a link or were you saying that they can be seen at the show?
I'll be there Thursday and Friday. Haven't missed one in many years.
I will be there I hope Thursday maybe Friday AM.

I said this last year and ended up not going, but I will be there 100% this year. I’ll be there on thurs, fri, and possibly Saturday

In. I'll be spending a lot of time at the BCCS Table (Barber Coin Collector's Society).
And you’ll be joining?
@johnny010 ... No, wish I could, but I save my travel for some other venues. Maybe one year I will.... Cheers, RickO
Now there is a surprise
I'll be by the table to talk BQ's with you for sure. Looking forward to it.

Driving from Minnesota. Had a blast in 2020, looking forward to getting back.
My strategy is about collecting what I intend to keep, not investing in what I plan to sell.

I'll be there.
Just can't make it this year.
I did get the email from ATS regarding the grading contest.
That's always fun. I'd sit and look at a cool box of coins any day even if I didn't come away with a souvenir slab.
Flying in early Thursday morning and back home Saturday evening - looking forward to an enjoyable three days on the floor.

I’m planning on being there on Friday.
Hope to see a few of you guys up there!
Have fun to the ones that are going. Won't be attending myself, never traveled for a show outside of the general Chicago area. Hoping to make it down there for a FUN show sometime in the future.

I think it might be helpful to agree upon a time and place on the bourse to meet up and say hello? Perhaps Friday afternoon?
Pre-pandemic we were doing a PCGS boards meet at a bar on one of the evenings............... The last one in 2019, we had around 30 members rotate through the couple hours of the event. Stacks numis also showed up, it was a very enjoyable evening.

I’m in favor of a pcgs boards meet. I’ve already spoken to a couple members about meeting and putting a face to the user handle. Having it consolidated in one area sounds helpful

Driving down from Wisconsin for the month of January.
The auction will go live around the end of next week, and close near the end of the FUN show. Auction lots with descriptions and photos will be on his website. The coins will be available for in-hand viewing at FUN.
Looking forward to seeing you, @Catbert!
Lance.
I'll be there at table #623 so please stop by, say hi, have your photo taken for my show report - and be sure to check out my Pretty Pennies!

Me!!! I love the FUN show!

Love this show, but it cuts too close for year end work stuff for me this time.

My registry sets
Yes, I invited Stacks, and if I recall, they even picked up part of the tab!
It was great talking with many members, and I also remember an informal Show & Tell with a few of our coins.
Anyway, it looks like the show this year is in the North Concourse.
The Hyatt Regency looks like the closest hotel with a lobby bar.
Perhaps this could be an after-show meeting venue?
Gonna be missing the show this year.
I keep saying... "wait until next year..."

I was planning on checking out Steve’s exhibit anyway, so that sounds like a good time to do so. Hopefully I’ll have finished my shopping by then, and have something new for show-and-tell.
