BigAlan · March 1, 2006 9:04AM

I'm going to try...but I hate going down to Atlanta. I did go to the aquarium last month.

Garneteye · March 1, 2006 10:15AM

Will be there Friday

ormandh · March 1, 2006 10:47AM

I am thinking about going and staying Friday night. Is anyone up for getting together for dinner? I was thinking, maybe getting a hotel room with my wife and little boy and making a weekend of it, so I don't have to drive back and forth from Athens. It would be nice to shoot the sh*t with some of you fellows over some beers if anyone is interested. Just a thought. -Dan

ajaan · March 1, 2006 10:52AM

If you mention beer, I guarantee spinaker will be interested.

We are flying in Thursday afternoon and leaving Sunday morning. Anyone know how far the convention center is from the airport?

ormandh · March 1, 2006 10:55AM

Very close by Atlanta standards. Maybe 8 miles? I will have to look at a map, but it is not far from downtown Atlanta. -Dan

ormandh · March 1, 2006 10:56AM

By the way where is everyone staying? -Dan

ajaan · March 1, 2006 10:59AM

We are staying at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel.

ormandh · March 1, 2006 11:06AM

Ajaan, are you setting up for the show? -Dan

spinaker2000 · March 1, 2006 11:16AM

<< We are staying at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel. >>

We are all staying there!!

How far is the bar from my room???

ormandh · March 1, 2006 11:31AM

sorry, it is actually about 22 miles from Atlanta-Hartsfield. -Dan

No. I am not a dealer. I'm a professional educator.

<< sorry, it is actually about 22 miles from Atlanta-Hartsfield >>

Holy cow! I had no idea it was so far. Terry, how many beers will Kelly have to buy you to have you pick us up at the airport?

mongoose · March 1, 2006 10:07PM

A beer per mile usually gets his attention.

ajaan · March 1, 2006 11:19PM

<< A beer per mile usually gets his attention >>

hmm . . . 22 miles, 22 beers. That should be his first days supply.

spinaker2000 · March 2, 2006 4:57AM

?????

GaCoinGuy · March 2, 2006 5:30PM

I plan on being there Friday. I work nights and am planning to make sure I am off that particular Friday night. I've been doing some research on restuarants and such, trying to find aplace with room hold a crowd of us.

ormandh · March 3, 2006 9:14AM

Am I going to be able to find any uncirculated coins for a decent price at the show or should I expect to pay full price plus some? I have only been to one other show in my life and was not very impressed with the selections. Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting rips, but I would be willing to spend on good coins as long as they are reasonably priced. -Dan

ajaan · March 3, 2006 10:38AM

One of the great things about the ANA is they have a section for only World Coins, and one for coins under $150 I think it is.

To answer your question, yes, I think you can find nice coins at decent prices.

MSD61 · March 3, 2006 10:43AM

Wish I could go

Tootawl · March 3, 2006 12:18PM

I'll be there too. I'm there from Tuesday to Sunday. I'm going to do a bunch of tourist stuff before the show: Stone Mountain, Coke Mueseum, the new aquarium, Atlanta Speedway, etc. I'm staying at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel. Sounds like the party place will be the hotel bar!

IlikeZARcoins · March 15, 2006 5:25PM

What does TTT stand for ?

Also could you guys take some photos of the show and related festivities and post them on the thread ?

TIA

Tootawl · March 15, 2006 9:01PM

TTT means To The Top. It forces the thread to the top of the list.

ajaan · March 15, 2006 9:01PM

Believe me, I'm not sure you want to see the group of people going, not a pleasant site.

coincop · March 16, 2006 3:03AM

If it helps any of you.....

The Galleria is not in Atlanta. It just has an Atlanta zip code. Which is why it's so far from the airport. Charlie Brown airport is much closer if any of you have your own aviation type transportation.

The Galleria is near the intersection of I-285 and I-75 but it's on the top perimeter and the Atlanta airport is on the bottom of the perimeter.

But as long as traffic isn't backed up..........you have a 1 in 10,000 chance that it won't be............you can make the trip quite quickly as it's all interstate except about the last 200 yards.

I look forward to meeting some of you.

lordmarcovan · March 18, 2006 1:49PM

I was definitely planning it, but it's not looking so good, now.

There's still a small chance I'll make it.

Speak for yourself!

Speak for yourself and Spinaker!

Speak for yourself and Spinaker and Mongoose and Rhound and Lordmarcovan and I

and every other darksider I have ever seen and those I have only seen pictures of or read about.

Should we ask the ANA to ban cameras from the show?

Sapyx · March 23, 2006 6:41PM

I hope you don't mind me sort-of-hijacking this thread, but it is still on-topic.

I take it that this humongous coin show is a regular annual event in Atlanta?

I recently picked up this medal from a gentleman who was selling off his unwanted world coins:

It "came with" a Dutch 10 euro 2002 Royal Wedding commemorative coin.

Anyone know the circumstances here? Was the medal given away to anyone who bought one of these from the Royal Dutch Mint stand at the Atlanta Show (either in 2001 or 2002)? Any idea what it's made of or might be worth? It's about the same size as a 5 euro commemorative, I think (it's smaller than the 10 euro, anyway).

Aethelred · March 23, 2006 9:05PM

Sapyx, the ANA shows move around each year, it is in Atlanta this year, but will be in a different location next year.

Tootawl · March 23, 2006 9:08PM

<< I take it that this humongous coin show is a regular annual event in Atlanta? >>

It's the ANA's National Money Show. Here's a link to it. I would guess that the only shows that are larger or of equal size to this are Baltimore, FUN, Long Beach, and the summer ANA show whidh is in Denver in August. Here's a link to the World's Fair of Money.

Tootawl · March 23, 2006 9:11PM

Here's the locations of the ANA shows for the next few years:
Spring 2007 - Sacaramento, CA
Summer 2007 - Milwaukee, WI
Spring 2008 - Phoenix, AZ
Summer 2008 - Baltimore, MD
Spring 2009 - Portland, OR
Summer 2010 - Boston, MA

Dentuck · March 24, 2006 4:51AM

Sapyx, you might also be thinking of the Whitman Coin and Collectibles Atlanta Expo, which is held every year.

(It's also held at the Galleria.)

Here's a link for more info: Whitman Expo.

The Expo is arranged by Whitman Publishing in association with Jeff Garrett and John B. Hamrick & Co.

The next show is in October.

They need to stop having that during hunting season so I can go.
