Anyone have any info on the PAN show in Pittsburg?

Does anyone here have any info concerning the PAN show that is held in Pittsburg a few times per year. Thoughts, comments, is it a good show? I heard the table layouts were not so good.

    I go to both PAN shows each year. I don't know what a bad layout would be like - it seems no different than any other mid-size show. The groups of tables are arranged in a grid. One entrance/exit. They have about 150 tables and attendance over 3,000.

    For dealers, there's a buffet during Thursday night setup, donuts on Friday/Saturday morning, and munchies/soft drinks available throughout the show hours. Dealers and anyone on their tables must be PAN members. Dealer parking is segregated from the public and they have a separate loading dock entrance.

    The bourse has a section for foreign/ancients, and a good mix of material. They have a book dealer, a supply dealer, good exhibits, a meeting room for seminars, and a good YN program.

    Any other questions, just ask.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
