2ND COINFEST EXHIBITION TO BE BIGGER, BETTER THAN EVER.

(STAMFORD, CT) … “Last year was well above our expectations, and we’re expecting this year’s Coinfest Exhibition, to be even better,” says Jon Lerner, Coinfest Bourse Chairman and well-known coin dealer. “With over 150 dealers, plus fun educational exhibits, contests and prizes, this exhibition is tailor made for both casual and serious coin collectors. Literally thousands of coins will be bought, sold and traded. This is one of the largest exhibitions of its type on the East Coast.”

Coinfest will be held at the Hilton on First Stamford Place in Stamford, CT, November 7-9. Public Hours are as follows: Friday, November 7th 2pm-6pm; Saturday, November 8th 10am-6pm; Sunday, November 9th, 10am-4pm. Admission is free.

According to Lerner, attendees are going to be in for a special treat this year. “We’ll have two great exhibits of some of the rarest coins you can find on display,” he said. “One of those coins is believed to be the only one of its type in existence, a 1909 VDB one cent coin worth in excess of $250,000.”

Also being displayed is an extremely rare set of three Panama Pacific half dollars: One gold, one silver, and one copper. Estimated value of the set is upwards of $ 500,000. Attendees will be able to view all these rare coins and learn about their histories.

“Do to the high caliber of our exhibitors, we’re expecting a lot of very serious coin collectors from across the country to attend,” Lerner said. “However, there are a lot of exhibits for people just getting started in coin collecting, or who want to build their collections. Kids are welcome, too. It’s not only a fun experience for them, but an educational one as well,” he added.

    I'm already in a frenzy over this show.

    In the last paragraph, change "do" to "due".

    How many non-collectors will read that and think they hit the lottery? The coin shops will have fun fielding the inquiries, I'm sure.
