ANA show in Atlanta

Is anyone planning to go to the ANA show at the end of February? I collect
Early Dated European coins and would like to meet with any other collectors
regardless of collecting interest. I am a 30+ year member of the ANA. I
hope to meet some of you in Atlanta.

I'll be there

Flatwoods · January 21, 2014 12:24AM

I'm in.

I'll be there. Probably just walking the floor, though.

I'll be there, representing Whitman Publishing.

Hope to see some of you around the bourse!

There is a rumor going around that Yeti Danglen and Black Mountain Coins will be at Booth 221 & 223.

I will be there. Funny thing... I've done business multiple times with a nice guy who claims to own Black Mountain Coins but his name isn't "yeti" or "danglen" …

edit: for anyone visiting from out of town, I've been living in Atlanta for over 20 years and can easily recommend places to eat and things to do (if you're interested in leaving the convention center). ~Nick

I wish I could travel to Atlanta for the show, but can not. I hope to see everyone at CICF and Central States though this year! Hard to believe it has been almost a year since I was at those shows! I plan on bringing my daughter this year to those two shows. We went to the ANA last year and it was pretty big and overwhelming. I think she will have more fun at these two. Even though we did luck out and get a great junk box of English large cents from one of the members here (Dennis88) and had a ton of fun digging through that box and filling dates and getting them into 2 X 2's.

Speaking of which, if anyone is ever in possession of a bunch of large British cents, preferably Ed VII and before, let me know. We enjoy filling the spots.

(If you want to throw any medieval silver pennies in there for dad here, feel free you know. Ahem, EVP.

Never been to CICF. Maybe I'll go in 2015. I have a collection of British cents that I began as a kid. It was my first collection. Never finished. No desire to upgrade any of the pieces. I may send them to you ...

CICF is a fun show. It's so nice to go into a room full of Darkside stuff that it is hard to know where to start or how to get through it all. Luckily for me there were several dealers who had bargain boxes of ancients ($50 and lower, which isn't exactly the same type of "bargain boxes" that I was used to when I was a teenager) so I picked up some nice pieces and caught up with some dealers I hadn't see in 20 years.

CSNS is also a good Chicago based show that has a nice turn out and a decent selection of people who trade in Darkside, albeit on the more modern and low end of stuff in my opinion.

I casually dabbled in Great Britain, Canada and British India as a kid and never really developed any theme or anything and so I made those my first gift of coins to my daughter because she can still find an occasional Canadian cent or nickel in circulation and she likes the big portraits on the old English pennies. I bought her one each of Edward I, Elizabeth I and James I silver pennies last year for Christmas and she was pretty blown away. Now to add some other medieval kings and fill more holes in the Victoria, Edward VII, etc. Its fun and reasonable and when she goes to shows she can find a date or two to spend "her own money" on. ...Then dad buys the rest. Lol

Lochness, let me know, I'd be interested.
