What’s your number one priority at this years’s ANA show?

If it happens to be the acquisition of a specific special coin, it might be better not to be too specific in your answer.😉

Wishing all attendees and participants loads of fun.

    I have an upgrade planned and mostly committed to but need to sell the coin being upgraded to raise the cash. And I'll go scour the offerings but don't expect to find anything.

    But my number one priority is to hang out with friends and have fun, numismatics be damned.

    First trek would be to get in line to see if NGC would rehold my NGC 1938D ms67 Buffalo Nickel?
    You see, it's the special labeled, "Bag Fragment"
    I cherry picked it bc it seems to be the D over D, Variety! or even the D/S?
    If they would oblige to my request. The coin could be almost $300 more valued than what I purchased it for?

    I'm hoping they would place back the "Fragment" in the new holder?
    Than I'd walk the Bourse for the atmosphere and meet awesome friends and cool dealers.
    Oh! Plus check out some coins too!
    😆
    Thanks

    Finding a nice circulated Flowing hair dollar. Maybe sell and trade. First time flying to a show so that will be fun.

    A nice PQ Capped Bust Half, or whatever piques my interest and is eye appealing. Also, to see all my friends and have a good time.

    A very difficult coin to find, good luck with your search!

    A nap on the couch, should be very doable as I'm not attending the ANA. ;)

    Buy the couch, not the coin (or the holder).

    I am going stew at home, jealous of those who are going to attend.
    My only saving grace is looking forward to reading the show reports from members here.

    Two items. Visiting with friends and talking about our niche in the hobby.
    Dropping off a few coins with messy desk for his talents. Just as good in
    my opinion as what PCGs TrueVeiw was a year ago and as good as Phil
    at GC now. Safe travels to all. VAYA CON DIOS.

    Really excited to attend my first major show. There a couple of people I’ve met virtually that I’m looking forward to meeting in person. Have some coins I’m getting show graded, some coins I’m submitting to GC, and some coins I hope to sell.

    Buying wise nothing specific I am looking for but I’m sure I’ll come home with something.

    Number one goal is to knock off a few items from my want list (that’s as much detail as I’ll post) and to not forget to pick something up that I already paid for so I save a ton on shipping.

    Ok, don't tell us what you're looking for but at least tell us what you're picking up :)

    Something from my want list and very closely related to the other things I’m not telling you about 😂

    Buy the couch, not the coin (or the holder).

    Already done, it has fantastic eye appeal with a wonderful leather toned look, with fully rounded cushions. I expect at least an MS67 nap. ;)

    But will it CAC???

    Crossing coins to PCGS, then on to CAC.

    Absolutely yes! But the shipping charge is going to be a stopper. ;)

    If you do your homework and buy smart, you can get a used couch with coins already in the cushions.

    Meeting up with my coin friends, viewing auction lots, seeing some wickedly cool coins and yes hopefully finding a Capped Bust dime for my set. Its getting harder & harder finding nice looking Capped Bust dimes.
