For me - being of tight budget, I'm going to be looking for raw coins - bargain type stuff - maybe even a little (gasp) nicely toned darkside matter. How about you guys? Do you have your radars set on an illusive gem?

    Frank, I can see you blocking Gsaguy, but I honestly can not picture you blocking monsterman.imageimage

    I'll see you at the show.

    Nothing really specific, but generally:

    A holey Bust dollar and/or some earlier holed gold for my hat (world or US)

    Red King George coppers

    1901-dated coinage of the British Empire with Queen Victoria's portrait, in high grade

    Gold plated State quarters.

    Yeah, you read that right- I am actually gonna buy gold plated State quarters. Last year at FUN I bought ten of each state and 20+ Georgias, for about a buck a pop, took 'em home, put 'em out in my mall booth at $2.50 each, and sold 'em like crazy. I laughed at myself for buying the silly things last year, but when I started making more than double my money on 'em, I began to see the light. Sometimes an "experienced numismatist" can learn a thing or two from the novices. In time, I will probably put some of those things in cheap bezels for necklaces. If I can get some bezels for a buck or two each, I can get even more for the quarters, I would think.

    since I have no idea who anyone is, or what they look like, save a few like that cigar smoking pug,

    If you see someone wearing a leather Harley Davidson cap and this --------> image emblem on his vest.

    that would be me.

    I usually add my CU name to my ID tag, in the off chance somebody will notice and will care.

    Maybe the rest of you folks could do that?!

    Frank--just don't shave. You'll be easy to find. image

    For those that want a CU pin, visit the PCGS, and ask for a Forum Member pin- hopefully they have one for you.

    I hope to run into some of you buys and girls there on Thursday or Friday. Truth is, I don't ever know what I'm going to buy at a show. I always have this nice want list, and it lasts until I fall in love. Love is usually expensive. LOL
