Few weeks away... Who will be attending the Sacramento ANA show?

ChrisRx · February 17, 2011 4:16AM

With it being only a 90 mile drive I can make a day trip.

So... Who is going to attend?

blu62vette · February 17, 2011 4:25AM

I'll be there!! I have a table at the Red Lion for the pre-show done by McIntosh, then teaching a ANA course, then set up for the show!!

19Lyds · February 17, 2011 4:45AM

Me.

It's only 45 minutes away!

MarkInDavis · February 17, 2011 4:55AM

A 20 minute drive so I will definitely be there. How large is this show likely to be?

WTCG · February 17, 2011 5:18AM

I will be set up there. The more people who attend the merrier.

illini420 · February 17, 2011 5:27AM

Thinking about it maybe...

SanctionII · February 17, 2011 6:29AM

Assuming my calendar is open, I plan to attend. It is only a drive of about 70 miles.

It would be my first coin show in Sacramento.

I am so excited at the prospect of going to the Captial City that tremble with anticipation, thinking that it will be different from and better than coin shows that take place in the SF Bay Area

Even if it is not that fun, I can always take a detour and revisit the State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento.

ColonialCoinUnion · February 17, 2011 8:01AM

Going.

Julian · February 17, 2011 8:14AM

I will be there, as well, right next to CRO!!

ThePennyLady · February 17, 2011 8:29AM

I'll be there at table 917 - please stop by!

Obiwancanoli · February 17, 2011 9:01AM

Count me in too... Been lookin' forward to it

Hotfootspin · February 17, 2011 9:58AM

Probably yeah ...

MrEureka · February 17, 2011 10:14AM

I'll be there, with a table and some cool coins.

Swampboy · February 17, 2011 1:32PM

I've been planning on attending for the last two years but some recent family events are making it less likely I can make it.

If anyone gets a chance to make the 1.1 mile trek from the Convention Center to Sutter's Fort it would be a worthwhile stroll.
Here are some pics taken at the Fort which is located adjacent to the State Indian Museum.

MFH · February 17, 2011 1:37PM

Looking forward to it !!

I hope to be assisting Glenn Holsonbake again;
please stop by table 1110 and say Hello !!

pursuitofliberty · February 17, 2011 1:55PM

yes, absolutely ... it's the closest I'll have been to a major in a while, and there are many of you I'd like to meet in person

illini420 · February 25, 2011 6:15AM

Looking like there are going to be some killer coins on exhibit at the show!!!

The PCGS table will have the complete proof $3 gold set.

The show website also indicates the following will be on display at the show:

A Type III 1804 Dollar

1913 Liberty Nickel

1787 Brasher Doubloon

100 oz. gold nugget

Autographs of every U.S. President from Washington to Carter (w/ coins from the time of their administrations)

CA National Bank Note display from 1863-1935

and that doesn't even count what the U.S. Mint will bring to show off!

plus there will be a bunch of collectors' exhibits to check out.

anyone know of any other interesting displays that will be at the show?

terrym280 · February 25, 2011 6:26AM

I'll be there... I'm coordinating the registration for the boy and girl scout workshops and volunteered to work the "kids zone" table.

Awesome!

TrainNut and I will be there. TrainNut will be a YN page, and he's trying to raise funds for his draped bust type set.

While you are in Sacramento, I highly recommend the California Railroad Museum. Its a very short distance from the convention center, and open 10-5 every day.

swhuck · February 28, 2011 9:55AM

I wish.

The 1999 show there was unforgettable.

mustanggt · March 1, 2011 2:26AM

It's getting closer, who else is attending?

blu62vette · March 3, 2011 2:19AM

right around the corner..... both location and timewise for me.

FredWeinberg · March 3, 2011 2:24AM

I'll be there, with a broken foot.......

(that's why I missed Long Beach)

NebuchadnezzarTheGreat · March 3, 2011 2:27AM

I probably won't be attending. Of all the places on earth for the ANA to put a Spring show, this is ridiculous. I'd rather be in Omaha or Reyjakavik as it would only take 1 connection for me to get there!

FredWeinberg · March 3, 2011 2:48AM

Yep, that 1999 Show in Sacramento
was a huge surprise for everyone.

Good business, and LOTS of public.

I remember, along with most of the
other dealers, being stunned at the
pubic attendence for a 'small city'.

Let's hope we get 75% of that attendence.

claychaser · March 3, 2011 2:40PM

<< I probably won't be attending. Of all the places on earth for the ANA to put a Spring show, this is ridiculous. I'd rather be in Omaha or Reyjakavik as it would only take 1 connection for me to get there! >>

I respectfully disagree:

1. Reasonable airfare - served by Southwest, making for competition
2. Reasonable hotel costs, and several price points with many hotels to choose from
3. Location has hotels and restaurants closeby - host hotel is across the street
4. Historical connection (gold rush center, Comstock Lode and Virginia City nearby) and local museums (as noted on another thread)
5. No sales tax over $1500 per transaction on coins
6. Easy driving distance from Bay Area, also many collectors within a day's drive

WTCG · March 3, 2011 2:50PM

<< I probably won't be attending. Of all the places on earth for the ANA to put a Spring show, this is ridiculous. I'd rather be in Omaha or Reyjakavik as it would only take 1 connection for me to get there! >>

I've been to Omaha (not to Reykjavik yet, but planning on it this coming summer. Flown over Reykjavik a bunch of times so I've seen it from the air) several times and Sacramento does beat Omaha in every category. I know us in the Bay Area refer to Sacramento as the sticks but the place has a few charms.

The last time the ANA was in Sacramento an attendance record for the spring show was set. It got so busy they had to turn some people away.

A coin show that turns people away? Not in 2011, at least not in the U.S. (I can see shows in Asia having huge lines of people and turning people away though).

I'll be in Sacramento - looking forward to it.

Now that I have my schedule for the month, I will try to trade into a nice Downtown overnight so I can go. Since California charges sales tax on coins under $1500 purchased, does anyone know if they do that separately or will that be included in the pricing? Not being from California (Arizona does not have sales tax on coins), I am curious how they handle that at shows......I do not think I will be spending over $1500 at any one stop..

I would bring cash to spend and ask dealers if tax is included in the price or how it is handled as part of the price negotiation.

SkyMan · March 4, 2011 12:33AM

I'll probably be going.

Also March in Sacramento should be pretty pleasant, was almost 70 yesterday. March is a tricky month for many states as far as weather so California may be a safer bet that some. I would also add for people who are traveling here, you can get to Napa Valley, SF Bay Area and Lake Tahoe within 2 hours so it offers other traveling destinations.

PQpeace · March 4, 2011 12:54AM

I will be there !

PonyExpress8 · March 8, 2011 7:13AM

Bump to the top. At #1110 along with Dennis88 and MFH diagonally across from PCGS. It should be a fun time and for once at a major show I may be somewhat rested since I get to sleep in my own bed. Please stop by, say hello and take a look.

blu62vette · March 9, 2011 2:20AM

BUMP for a local forum member.

IrishMikey · March 9, 2011 4:30AM

I will not -- the ANA Midwinter shows aren't big enough for the time and energy spent.

Few weeks away... Who will be attending the Sacramento ANA show?
