I booked my flight yesterday to be there for the Early Bird session and Thursday.
I am literally giddy.
I love coin shows!

Are you making the trip and excited about it?

    I'll be there! Of course I live only 2 miles from the venue.....

    I'll be helping out at the BCCS Table (Barber Coin Collectors Society) and exhibiting my Everyman Barber Half set.

    I love them Barber Halves.....

    I always get excited about the Winter FUN show. It's like a second Christmas.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Going on a delayed Xmas cruise for/with the kids & grandkids in January, and will miss my first FUN show in years. Good memories with the fam, but still... :'(


    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...



  • goldengolden Posts: 9,996 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Hope to be there.

  • amwldcoinamwldcoin Posts: 11,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    We'll miss you David! Hope you have a great trip!

    I'll be at my usual spot in the front of the budget section. Sure hope they don't alienate us again and put us a football field away from the rest of the show! So looking forward to being back in Orlando next time!

    Golf and coins with friends during the winter, what’s not to like?

    You can find me with Robert Harlow, either on the golf course or setup on the bourse.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    It's worth the trip if you are on this side of the pond. Best shows I have ever attended.

    One of these years I'll make it back to the winter show. But I do have a Long Beach trip booked for February, so that's a good consolation prize!
