I know it’s early, but who is attending the CoinFest Show? Incredible dealer list, and a Stack’s au

Longacre

I was taking a look at the CoinFest website. I know it is a bit early, but I feel as though I am the Mayor of CoinFest, because the show is located in my backyard. The dealer list (so far), is incredible, and it will even have an auction by Stack’s. Additionally, the mysterious CAC will be there, sprinkling holy water on selected coins, and raising their values by a minimum of 10%. What more can you ask for? It is my anniversary that weekend, so perhaps I will treat Mrs. Longacre to a tour of the bourse as part of the celebration. The show is November 7-9th. Who here is attending? Will RYK break his streak of not attending a show in 2008 and jet in for the event?

Last year was terrific - I'm guessing this year will be better.

Coinosaurus

Longacre-

If you can confirm your attendance, I bet half the forum will show up

Longacre

<< <i>Longacre-

Very few forum members have met Longare in person. Perhaps I can convince my security team to let me roam freely among the masses at the show.

MrEureka

Wow, what a list! After reading just the first six names on the list, I knew I'd have to attend!

SeaEagleCoins

<< <i>Last year was terrific - I'm guessing this year will be better. >>




I completely agree...

This show just might be destined for the "Top 10" must-make major shows...


...well, ok... if not the Top 10 then certainly the Top 20

DaveG

It is my anniversary that weekend, so perhaps I will treat Mrs. Longacre to a tour of the bourse as part of the celebration.



Somehow, I don't think we'll be seeing Longacre at this year's CoinFest!

I've been one of the "blessed" few who have had the opportunity to meet you...AND your "security" team...

They might be short...and darn cute to boot...but only good can come your way with them at your side!!!

RYK

Will RYK break his streak of not attending a show in 2008 and jet in for the event?

You know, I would consider it but for the weekend before I am jetting into Washington, DC to watch the Steelers spank the Redskins. I do not believe that I will be able to swing two consecutive "jet ins" (without buying an expensive and unnecessary piece of furniture). Maybe next year.

Stella

I am seriously considering attending and hope to go! Airfare has proven to be a chore, however. Argh.

If Longacre is going, though, an appearance at this show might just be necessary!

laxmaster92

LAst year was pretty sweet.
I loved getting stuck out in the rain.
It was my first big show.
So I will be there again!

You know Longacre's a legendary man-diva when he has a security team and refers to himself in third person...

Anyways, I hope to experience an encore of the aura of his presence at this coming Coinfest. I will be there either on Friday or Saturday.

tightbudget

As far as I can see, maybe yes.

I plan to be-I won't have much money to spend unfortunatly as I have a big trip that's going to take a lot of $ in October but I will certainly take a look around, quickly empty my pockets (to be replaced by more coins, but ones that won't be spent!) and see lots of things I wish to take home but can't. LOL. It will certainly be an experience as it will likely be my first ever show-I'm going to be too busy to hit the Parsippany or Danbury shows in September or October and I'll be saving my money for this one in November. Looking forward to it!

Oh, and even better-it's in driving distance of home so that'll work out nicely! I'm not exactly sure how to get to where it is but there's plenty of online maps for that

What do the numbers mean after the names?

jfoot13

I can see it now the whole first page of the forum will be threads of Longacre sightings

bidask

I am ANA'd out. Won't be attending.

Tvac897

Already have my travel arrangements...

jonathanb

The Baystate show in Boston is the following week. I'd love to think that some of the folks will stay in the northeast and do two shows in a row... but I have a feeling more people will do the first and bag the second :-(

Longacre, if you do go please let me know in advance. I figure you attendance at the show would push Tiffany's stock up at least 15% that next week...

mommam17

I`ll be there. Also, my back yard. 1 town over, 10 minutes away. It will be in a beautiful place, with a big upgrade over last years place. I`m looking forward to an auction that I can view lots in hand!

SMK

I'll be there.

<< <i>What do the numbers mean after the names? >>



Those refer to the bourse table numbers.

Looking forward to another great show. If you want to know who to thank for putting on this event -- it is Jon Lerner. There are 6,000 details that go into putting on a good show. Jon is on top of each and every one.

Thank you, Jon!

Longacre

I see that PCGS has signed up to attend. Pretty cool stuff.

Does anyone know if QDB will be attending? Now that would be the icing on the cake!!!!

ScarsdaleCoin

Keep checking the website..... more and more exciting stuff being added daily!


Try flights into Westchester County Airport and Hartford Airport.... these are regional airports with some great airfares

LGA and Kennedy are the big airports..... as well

<< <i>I see that PCGS has signed up to attend. >>



It's official - this show has hit the "Big Time" (and I am not kidding when I say that).

I thought Longacre's attendance pushed the show into "Big Time" status.

November is reserved for Elk hunting. Maybe the Spring ANA in Portland.

Longacre

<< <i>November is reserved for Elk hunting. Maybe the Spring ANA in Portland. >>




We have lots of deer in Connecticut (too many, in fact, because I recently almost hit one this morning with my car). You are welcome to hunt on the Longacre property, and perhaps I can swing you some accomodations at the manor.

SilverBaron

Mr. L .......... What kind of weather should we expect the first week of Nov. ?

Longacre

<< <i>Mr. L .......... What kind of weather should we expect the first week of Nov. ? >>




The weather is very unpredictable in CT. It can be has high as the mid-60's, or it can get pretty cold. Shoot for something in the 50's or so, give or take 5-10 degrees, and you should be safe. Early November in CT is still nice overall. Snow should not be an issue.

Pistareen

I'll be there.

Last year's show was my first show as an independent, and it turned out to be a great show for people interested in my kind of material. I don't suspect I'll be missing this show anytime soon, especially considering the fact that it's an easy train ride from NYC.

Jonathanb -- I'll be at BayState/C4 the next week too! Never fear.

Longacre: if you're buying breakfast, I'd be happy to have a "professional preview" of my inventory before bourse hours

See you all there.

oreville

I do not see PCGS on Jon's list?

ScarsdaleCoin

PCGS is attending... as well as other TPG's


for breakfast, please take advantage of the Breakfast Seminiar about Coin Security.... see things to do on the website.....

that is a awesome talk and hosted by one of the best!

oreville

NGC?

Is CAC offering to do a "free" stickering promo again?

The breakfast seminar sounds cool.

roadrunner

The best coin show in the Northeast and only 1 hour drive? I'll be there....just like last year. Just look for the Fire Marshall.

roadrunner

sTONER

i,ll be there, im running low on green football loooking seal of approval stickers,,

dwssws

will be there also!

golfer72

I definitely will be there. Live in Westchester about 40 min away. Last year I took my son to his first show at the Greenwich one. Nice having big shows in the tristate area.

BillyKingsley

Don't forget Stewart Airport in Newburgh NY...it's right on Interstate 84 (literally, you can see the tail wings on the airplanes from the highway! I see them once a month or more!) and 84 goes right into CT-that's how I'll be going over! Considering that I could probably walk to 84, that's the easiest way for me.

Thanks for anwering my question!

I have a thought-how are we going to recognize other board members? I'm planning on wearing my model car club name tag-I wear it when I got to full size car shows, so why not a coin show too? I'm pretty hard to miss, too

I don't think anybody has posted a link yet...

The Coin Fest

astrorat

I'll be there* and don't forget to sign up for the ANA grading course!

Lane

Stella

It's official now. My flight and hotel are booked, so I am going!
