Awesome show.
In my neck of the woods, along with being a close friend with Steve! The one running the show.
YES! I will definitely attend.
But, I'm still not quite sure when?
However, I do know for a fact! It will be more than just one day.
Hope to see you there, Joe. Along with some of you guys, as well,
2 years ago, I did win their door raffle.

Nice guy. Home grown Chicagoan too.
Nice chatting with and directing him to some of the awesome tables and dealers.

I was there yesterday. I bought 2 coins for my granddaughters birthdays. I go every time they host a show even though I'm about as far away as I can get for being in the area. It's a pretty good show.
Just getting back to CA. I'll post purchases later.
Good to meet @joeykoins at the show on Friday, ended up going back on Saturday for some more purchases,
Hey Joe.
Nice meeting you too!
Sad you had to leave Chicago for California.
Where the weather is COLD!. lol
What is wrong with this picture?
Chicago= Warm
California= Cold
Hope you had a great time while you were here Joe?

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Good show overall. Was there on Friday (with my 2 Brothers) and Saturday. About 40-50 venders +/-. Good turn out on Friday. I got to meet my CRH Buddy @JoeyKoins on Friday. Was nice to me meet him, nice guy and talk a bit. He provided some guidance on suppliers that he recommended. On Saturday was a bit (last day and ended at 3:00) of a smaller crowd and some venders had already pulled out. On Friday picked up some (Italian Beef & Sausage) Combos ae Portillos on Harlem Ave. On Saturday I pick up some Sliders at White Castle. (yum, lol
)
Got 5 Raw UNC Franklins for my Whitman album. Fairly priced and most venders gave some deals.
I picked up these 2 on Saturday in a bargain bin. Dealer was asking $35ec. 3 for $100, I got these 2 for $30 each. I just liked him, so...
These ASE I did not buy at the show. At the show they were $35/$36 each. My Brother knew of Chicago Coins on Harlem, and we got them for $30 each. I bought the 2023 Year of the Rabbit silver coin for my wife as she will be 50 years old this year, born in 1973. She liked it, I think that it looks nice. Smudge on Queen Eliabeth face is not really there.
Hey Joe,
😀
Very nice Bengy pick ups!
Nice Morgans, as well.
Hey, you stopped at my 2 favorite places in Chicago.
Portillo's & White Castle.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Also, Chicago Coin, so happens to be my longtime best friends in the coin hobby.
One of their former worker's, Joe Ridzy, taught me everything I know about varieties and coins, and in general.
Joe, now has his own Shop, in
La grange, IL.

Saturday evening, we picked up "Home Run In" pizzas. So, you could say that I hit the eating trifecta!!!
