Is anyone here planning on attending the New York International Coin Show in January?

Longacre

Does anyone here typically attend this show. I hear that some foreign medals dealers make their only appearance in the US at this show. I also see that the MCA is holding a meeting on the Saturday of the show. Does anyone here typically attend that meeting? Here is the link with more information: NYC Show

I'll be there!!!

I was there LY, but there is a conflict with FUN this time and Florida beckons.

I'll be there Friday and Saturday. It's a fun enough crowd that I'm ducking out of FUN early this year.

The prime reason for my attendance is a speaking engagement. As it turns out, I agreed de parler a la Societe Americaine por l'etude de la Numismatique Francaise on Pierre L'Enfant and the Society of Cincinnati Eagles months and months ago, way before the LaFayette-Washington Eagle was rediscovered and widely publicized. So now what was arcane is suddenly timely!

The speech will be in English, the subject will be French and American, and lunch will be Dutch.

The program is Saturday at 2 PM. MCA is meeting at noon. See you there!

<< <i> and lunch will be Dutch. >>






Whenever I am in Amsterdam, I subsist on croquettes and french fries if I decide to eat Dutch. Otherwise, I hit the Indian and Asian restaurants there, which are incredible.

Pistareen

OK Longacre. Lunch doesn't have to be Dutch. I'll let you buy

When I'm in Amsterdam, oh, nevermind.

I'll be there on Saturday.

In addition to the foreign medal dealers, there are one or two US medal dealers there who don't seem to attend many other shows.

By the way, the medal dealers usually aren't in the main room - it's very crowded; I usually avoid it.

Also, don't forget to dress up a bit - no mustard-stained hawaiian shirts on this show's dealers or collectors!

I goto the show every year, I have met some incredible people at this show over the years:

C. E. Bullowa-most incredible woman in numismatics, got me hooked on currencey and I still buy from her when possible.

Fred Weinburgs daughter: In 15 mins she gave me a crash course on ancients and greek coinage, very friendly and extremely smart

QDB- was the first time I met him, hes just as awesome in person as he is in print

Dr Arnold Saslow: sold me my first SLQ in technicolor

RWB

Nope. Wouldn't go near the place with a 10-foot bagle.

mattniss

I'd like to try to go, even if just to get to stare at things with my mouth wide open... and maybe to hear some speakers!

oreville

This will be a whirlwind tour for me.

FUN show Thursday and Friday.

NYINC show Saturday for me!

WTCG

It's very unfortunate how they schedule this show on the same weekend as the FUN convention.

DaveG

By the way, if you're going to the show, don't forget to print the discounted admission coupon from their website - it'll save $5 off the $10 admission.

Also, since it's at the Waldorf, checking your coat costs about $10, if I remember correctly!

GoldenEyeNumismatics

I'm there every year. It's a fun show---makes me with I knew more about ancients.

mrearlygold

I'm really trying to do both shows

Should be a very active show with many Europeans coming to buy with the dollar low against the Euro and the Pound.
