Has anyone here ever competitively exhibited a collection at a coin show?
I will be putting my collection of Ludwig Gies WWI art medals into the competition at the National Money show in Portland and I have a few questions for anyone with previous experience.
Thanks in advance.

I dare say this may be a topic where you'll find help at the US forum?

I'm thinking that if only 1-3 examples are available, due to ownership of the remainder by museums, they would all rate an RRRR on the rarity scale. Anyone agree?

You'd be surprised to see these in person...all very small, with the exception of "The Neue Chaos", and all very unassuming, much like the artist. I have fears that people will have a difficult time seeing them in the ANA display cases and can only imagine how bad the lighting will be. I'm tinkering with ideas to somehow integrate color images of the medals at a larger scale in order to see the details. Tricky since I want a polished and uncluttered presentation.
