I'm considering attending this show. Is there a list of dealers somewhere on the web? I couldn't find one. Is this usually a good show to attend?

I just checked the ANA web site money.org and the table
application is still posted. Mid winter/Spring ANA shows are
attended by the large dealers and many regional dealers. It
is about 200-300 tables if memory serves me.
This is nothing like FUN. I've never attended a show in Pitt.
I'm sure many here including dealers will attend and set up.
I wish I could be there. I live in Pittsburgh and will be traveling for work the entire time. Oh well, next time around!
Holy cow, they have a coin show in Pittsburgh? What are the dates? May drive down if the Pens are in town.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
The mid-winter is a smaller show, but it is still very well-attended. We (Kagin's) will be holding the auction, and I can vouch for the material in it. A few weeks ago, I picked up a 300-coin consignment that was all put back in the mid-20th century. The coins were mostly in old paper envelopes and hadn't been screwed with by coin dealers over the years, and were only sent through grading once, so the sale is full of fresh, original, conservatively-graded collector material. Sorry about the shameless plug...

I think I'll drive down and check it out.

I will walk over on my lunch hour.
Is there still that little hole in the wall French place around the corner from the Convention Center?

Pittsburgh is a great city. My wife is even willing to go there with me. Looking forward to viewing Kagin's auction material. David, there's nothing "shameless" about the plug

Should make a good evening!

google the show website and there is a floor plan and dealer list and don't forget to stop at tables 327,329 and say hello
I'll be going.
Hey David, this is what happens when I google -

Pittsburgh is a good city... easy transportation and good food....I went there for the 2011 NRA Convention....Be sure to write show reports. Cheers, RickO
@ajaan Check with Ben at the show Sunday, I'm pretty sure this is the show our Coin Club chartered a bus to go down there and back for the day. I think deposits are due soon if you're going.

I wish I could go. I may have to register at Kagin’s to bid in the auction
That's what I plan on doing.

As of today there are 40 booths still available!
I see two factors here
The cost to dealers keeps going up
The market isn’t what it use to be!
This puts show promoters between a rock and a hard spot just as the dealers are in!
Where and when can we see the catalog images?

The descriptions are being written as we speak and things will be posting to iCollector in the next few weeks. I'll try and find a few highlights to post here.

Here are a few more or less randomly selected pieces of eye candy for the group - I haven't matched these up with grades yet (they were all shot raw the week after I picked them up):

Wow! That 71 half is tremendous!
Nice
Wow
Ooh my - I'd play guess the grade, but I'd just grade them "yummy". Can't wait to see the catalog.

I'm going to be there with bells on. Pittsburgh is a great City and I always hit it up, when I'm on the east side of the country. Looking forward to the show, the auction and to meeting many board members such a @StrikeOutXXX , @PTVETTER and @Regulated .

Have to decide if want to drive to this show from Cleveland.
My 7 year old is excited about the possibility of going to a larger coin show, when I mentioned the idea to him yesterday. Seems like could be interesting things for him to see as well.
OK, made some stickers/tags so maybe I can meet some folks from here. I've only met a handful of forum members over the 13 years I've been here, mostly locals up near Buffalo though.
Our little coin club and a larger coin club just north of us chartered a 56-passenger bus for the 4-hour ride down to Pittsburgh on Friday the 29th. Sadly, we need at least 40 passengers for it to go, and we're at 20 now, so hopefully more sign up. For $50 round trip, including admission, cheaper than gas for 8 hours of driving plus I can nap. We should get there right at opening (10) and think we're leaving when they close at 6.

I really like that bus ride idea.
I would definitely sign up for something like that if I was up there in the Niagara Frontier.
