    All set!

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?

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

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 ... ?

    Right in the exhibit are where very few collectors go. In recent years it’s been by the food concession area.

    I will be at my table for the umpteenth year (Lost count - I started back at the Twin Towers when Kim Wu on Kirkman was a relatively young restaurant -- still going!).

    Awesome...I was going to revive this thread. Any newbies going who have never been before with any questions?

    Btw, I'm going to have copies of my Large Cent attribution guide available at the show!

    Someday, I'll make it....... and when I do, it will be more for socializing and a vacation, than for purchasing or selling. But, you had better believe I'll come back with a nice souvenir, as I never leave a show empty-handed!

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    I'm compiling my list of wants and fair price ranges now...

    Based on all of the glowing reviews I've read here over many years, the winter FUN show is on my numismatic bucket list.
    I'm strongly considering making it happen this year.

    Well...I'm now committed.
    Flight and hotel booked.
    Unfortunately I think I'll miss the luncheon due to scheduled arrival around 1pm friday but I'm extremely excited regardless.
