Orlando Coin Show

heavycopper

I haven't seen any post on this so I'm going to do it. There is a big coin show hosted by the central Florida coin club (CFCC) with weekend- Friday thru Sunday. It is at the Orlando downtown expo center. I know there will be at least 75 tables and ANACS will be there. The admission is free. I recently joined the CFCC but I have never been to the show. I'll be one of the greeters on Sunday morning if you want to meet me

For more info go to www.centralfloridacoinclub.org

It gives maps and the times.

I understand there is also a show in Lakeland soon. Does anyone have information regarding Lakeland?

I spoke to a dealer about the Orlando show, he said it is usually a small show with about 25 dealers and not worth driving 150 miles for. What do you folks think?

At the CFCC meeting 3 weeks ago, the secretary reported that 75 tables had been rented so far. That is big for a local coin show. Plus ANACS will be there for grading. How many club shows can get them?

I went to the colectorama show in Lakeland last year. I thought that was pretty small. Not all the dealers there sell coins. I was after a 1944-S half in MS65 and nobody had one (raw or certified). One guy had one in MS64 and wanted $70 for it.

Did we determine if anyone else from the forum was going to be in attendance?????? What about a time to meet up?????

SarasotaFrank,
Here is a recent thread about the Lakeland show. I may show up for that one. Too bad I can't make the Orlando show as I have to work this weekend. Oh well, maybe I'll have some extra $$ to spend for Lakeland, but that depends on beating my wife to the mailbox on payday. She ALWAYS wins that race though.

I'll be there at the front door greeting people for the club on Sunday from 9:30 to 12:30 Sunday. I'll probably be there Saturday too but I haven't decided when yet.

I'm going tomorrow! I haven't been to a show since January.

I may get a chance to stop in for a little while on Saturday or Sunday. I'm going to be pretty busy, but I have to get some supplies. Otherwise, I wouldn't even consider going on Sunday. The last time I went to the Orlando show on a Sunday, the place was half vacant of dealers.

If I go, I'll be in my U.S. Mint t-shirt

Made it to the Orlando show today. Not much in the way of Jeffersons. Was able to cherry pick a 1955D MS64FS for 50 cents!! Only 15 have been graded in FS by PCGS.

There were probably 60 - 70 dealers in attendance.
