Summer FUN Starts Tomorrow - Anyone Going?

Or is it just too hot to be in Orlando this time of year?

I only live an hour away, and the temp obviously isn't a factor for me, yet I'm still debating if I want to attend or not. It's typically a mere shadow of the Winter FUN show, but still a good-sized show nonetheless.

    @Walkerguy21D you have to go and promptly do a report. 1 hour is way too close to skip. Don't forget the mustard

    That close, go and give a report please. Feel free to skip the mustard jokes. I would rather hear about yellow gold.

    I'm an hour away also. My wife is arriving at the Orlando airport late in the evening, so plan to skip the afternoon of work, go to FUN till it closes than hit a microbrewery before going to the airport. Looking forward to the day.

    Not going this year, for the first time since I moved to Florida. I've "Lost the Bug" and I can't seem to get it back....

    GET THE BUG and go so that you can report back to those of us that have no chance of going, thanks :smile:

    I went yesterday. I should have stayed home (that's how it was for me). Four hours of driving (there and back because of bad traffic).

    Show not so great today, dozen people at door opening 10 AM.
    Prices high, Pickens low.
    I’m spoiled from winter fun show
    Beats working today. Two dealers I talked said show was good for wholesale, “retail non-existent “. Bought a Morgan Dollar 1878-P vam 130C3 from Brian Raines. Looking forward to January 2019 Fun. Did not see Walkerguy 21 anywhere!

    I was there yesterday and today the foot traffic seemed to be okay. Mostly local dealers were there. The larger dealers had a low profile and mostly traded amongst themselves. I still heard a number of collectors talking about the holes they had filled in their want lists, so I think that there as some retail business.

    I went looking for a couple of U.S. coins and a chance to get into some more ancient Roman pieces. I am only at the learning stage with ancients. My “big buy” was a Nero denarius.

    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 ... ?

    Correct - I reviewed the dealers scheduled to be there, and did not see some of my faves listed, so decided to go to work instead of burning a vacation day.
    Glad to see a few show reports though!
