Lakeland, Florida Collectorama Coin and Currency Show this weekend

The 60th Semi-Annual Lakeland, Florida Coin and Currency Show will be held at The Lakeland Center,
701 West Lime Street, just west of downtown Lakeland. Over 100 dealers will be on hand to Buy, Sell,
and Trade just about everything pertaining to Numismatics, Precious Metals, and a lot of interesting
and historical Neat Collectibles. An event for the entire family, and all youngsters, 12 or under, get a
daily dip into the Kid's Bucket for a Free Hand Full of Money. Dealers and Collectors help keep the
Kid's Bucket filled up all weekend with generous donations of "numismatic goodies", supplies, and
reference material. Larger material will also be distributed to the youngsters during the weekend.

The weather forecast for Lakeland is expected to be sunny, with daytime temperatures in the mid-70's,
and temperatures at night in the mid 50's. Show promoters guarantee there will be no ice or snow.
Wonderful weather to take a nice stroll around nearby Lake Morton which is one of the best Wild Water
Fowl Lakes in Florida. The Lakeland Center is a modern and secure Convention Facility, with ample
parking, and Collectorama Show participants get Free Parking by just mentioning Collectorama at the
parking booth. Guests will also receive Free Admission by bringing this notice to show Registration.

Dealers without tables are welcome to attend the Thursday 4-8 P.M. "Special Bourse" and gain entry
with a $25.00 (minimum) donation, via company check, to the Florida Youth Villa (Bartow, Florida).
There will be a special presentation of how to make Hobo Nickels all weekend, and the ICG Grading
Company will be on hand for "verbal" appraisals and submissions. There will be the usual tight
security all weekend, and a wide selection of popular Gold and Silver Eagles, Silver Dollars, Certified
Coins and Currency, Proof and Mint Sets, Medals and Tokens, and a large assortment of fun and
popular Paper Americana, Historical Documents, Jewerly, Diamonds, Disney, and small Antiques.

South. Route 98 will turn into South Florida Avenue, just before downtown, and there is plenty of
signs directing folks to The Lakeland Center. The host hotel for the show is the Crestwood Suites,
