Did I miss the "Who's Going to Central States" thread? Who's going?

ianrussell · April 20, 2018 4:15AM

I searched back three weeks and couldn't find it.

Despite no grading service grading on-site, should still be a good show. And PCGS will be there accepting submissions for office grading, so you save on shipping.

April 25th-28th in Schaumburg.

Ian

PS. We're going - say hi if you're there.

uscoinguy · April 20, 2018 3:02PM

Hi Ian- I am your best customer . I always come by and say hi at the Central States show! See you then.

CascadeChris · April 20, 2018 4:39PM

I've heard many dealers are revolting and skipping this CS due to the ever increasing fees. Wonder if that has something to do with it??

golden · April 20, 2018 4:55PM

I believe that the bourse is sold out.

Raybo · April 20, 2018 5:57PM

I will be the nerd with a small aluminum case full of 2 Cent Pieces, hope to see you fellow coin nerds on Thursday.

Dealer fees? Do you mean the people that don't stick around long enough for the working class collectors to attend a major show on the weekend?
The people that want our money and than give us the bird because they "have something better to do"?

I did attend the show for two days around three years ago, Thursday and than again Saturday. Saturday was like an old wild west town, I did not see anything except tumbleweeds, but through the dust I did see Charmy and Eagle Eye.

BustDMs · April 20, 2018 6:02PM

I will be at table 1400. Please stop by and introduce yourself!

Ask for Brad.

Regulated · April 20, 2018 6:04PM

I'll be there - despite all the kvetching, CSNS has been one of my best shows for years.

Justacommeman · April 20, 2018 7:54PM

I plan on flying in for a day.

Lack of show grading means no kvetching about show grades. Of course, that will be replaced with kvetching about no show grading, so I imagine there's a net kvetching wash this year.

Boosibri · April 20, 2018 9:25PM

I could drive out there Saturday but at that point is it even worth it?

specialist · April 20, 2018 9:31PM

This show is now nothing more then a big regional show with a major auction. Attendance has dwindled.

A strong statement is the fact NO grading services are on site.

Several dealers are holding off and are going to the EAC show a week later. CSNS has clearly lost its mojo.

Justacommeman · April 20, 2018 9:34PM

And EAC is in Traverse City this year. Wish it was in the summer.

DoughDeo · April 20, 2018 9:42PM

I'll be making the half hour drive daily.

giantsfan20 · April 21, 2018 12:41AM

Did this show always charge $5 admission daily? If they do have to charge just make it good for all days. Just like the ANA shows daily admission fees.

Good to know! My mom lives just outside. Time for a visit.

ianrussell · April 21, 2018 5:34AM

I thought about skipping it this year, but despite the lack of grading onsite, Central States is still a show that many collectors attend. For some, it's the only show of the year they attend.

The venue is convenient once you get there. If you're staying at the hotel attached to the convention space, it's very easy.

I was also surprised by the fee structure for tables (you only get one badge with the table, each additional badge is $75 or $125 or something, whereas other shows you get four I think with a table). But it's really just a way that a dealer is paying for what they need. Some shows we don't need four badges.

CoinRaritiesOnline · April 21, 2018 5:47AM

CSNS has always been a good show for us and so of course we'll be there. Table 703.

ricko · April 21, 2018 5:53AM

Reading the attendance above, we should have several show reports to read.... I look forward to the tales of treasures found and kvetching about prices and bullion. Cheers, RickO

DIMEMAN · April 21, 2018 5:54AM

Ian....I'll be there Thursday and Friday. Hope to see you there.

Sunshine Rare Coins · April 21, 2018 6:06AM

I'll be there the whole show.

liefgold · April 21, 2018 9:24AM

I will be there on Thursday. Looking for a few gold dollars!

MonsterCoinz · April 21, 2018 6:51PM

Ian - can I drop off some coins for GC?

DollarAfterDollar · April 21, 2018 8:03PM

I live 10 minutes away. I'll be there Thursday and Friday. I have a bucketfull of 1930's Mint State Lincolns to sell/submit.

Kalamazoo seems to be a geographical oddity. 2.5 hours away from Centrai States and EAC

Tookybandit · April 22, 2018 11:15AM

I'm excited! Will be there Wed-Sat. If you are not already a member of the Society of Paper Money Collectors, please stop by and say hello at table #200.

RogerB · April 22, 2018 11:24AM

They left last week....it's a long walk and the teams of oxen can only travel so far each day.

MACGE1 · April 22, 2018 2:38PM

I’ll be there on Thursday, my first show in almost a year. Do any other modern junkies plan on attending?

WDP · April 22, 2018 3:49PM

W. David Perkins Numismatics will be at our usual Table 910. Please stop by and say hello. We will have a lot of early U.S. silver coins and 18th and 19th Century Type coins.

This rare 1794 LM-2 Half Dime in PCGS AU58 (CAC) will be in attendance. It is ex. J. J. Pittman-Ed Price, and is the Plate Coin in the Logan McCloskey half dime book.

We are no long attending the show. Sadly our whole office has come down with the flu. My fever broke yesterday, but now Im treating bronchitis. Im quite disappointed, however we do plan setting up at the ANA in Philly.
