If you are going to ANA (Baltimore), what are the three things you are looking forward to the most?

Edited to add my 3 chooses:
1) Looking for PQ coins
2) Visiting with friends
3) Eating Crab Cakes

    1. Talking with fellow board members (and some ex-members).
    2. Exhibits.
    3. Finding someone to buy the odds and ends a non-collector friend asked me to sell for him.

    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.

  • 1: Stewart's copper.
    2: Looking for varieties to cherry pick.
    3: The hunt for a beautiful 3cent silver piece.
    Looking for Au Classic Commems...
    Also looking for VF-EF Seated halves.

    Sell me your old auction catalogs...image

    I think going to big coins shows and buying lots of coins helps cure thisimage

    1) Seeing the Walton 1913 Liberty nickel again AND George O. Walton's cordial heirs who will be attending the convention.

    2.a) Seeing the 2009-dated Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Mint that Mint Director Moy will unveil at the Mint booth soon after the convention's opening ceremonies on Wednesday morning.

    2.b) Stewart Blay's amazing Red Copper Collection at the PCGS booth.

    3) Crab cakes. (I had my first-ever crab cakes at the 1985 ANA Baltimore convention, and now forage for them at the Harborplace restaurant row each time I re-visit the city.)

    Only there a day and a half so its all about viewing coins.
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
