A private poll would be better.
Perhaps an actor portraying Andrew W. Mellon would be more Pittsburgh-ish.
Would they be focused on numismatic subjects?
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.
Visit the Society of US Pattern Collectors at USPatterns.com.
I'm going to the show to look at coins.
I'd rather see Big Bird. Peace Roy

Both.... The impersonators add a fun element to shows....and kids like them as well.... Cheers, RickO
Between the two, probably Ben Franklin... History depicts him as brilliant and a founding father... Plus I like Franklin halves.
ben franklin would be good to see but not seeing either one would suit me just fine
Who doesn't love a good mullet? I hope the CAC mascot can make bail so they can make another appearance.
Seeing them together would be double the fun.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Both were at FUN and seemed to be quite popular.

Personally, I could do without them, but they seem to generate PR from the local media. Why not have them show up. Maybe a little TV coverage will help to draw some new blood to the show. It can't hurt
How about Joseph Wharton handing out Nickels? I'd say you could show him bribing congresscritters, but that's too common these days.
I'd rather see the show in a more accessible city, for starters.
Early American Copper, Bust and Seated.
Accessibility is relative. Pittsburgh and/or the mid-atlantic is easier and more cost effective for me.
As host organization, we are working to get Abe and Ben together again.
If it cost money to have those two to appear at a show. I would rather have the money go to a YN's activity.
What about George Washington hero of the the battle of Monongahela
10 mi east of Pittsburg .French and Indian war. 9 July 1755.
general Braddock was killed and GW took command. Indians
Shot four bullet holes thru his coat and two horses from under him but he did not get a scratch.
They thought something special about him.,
Not a fictional tale, In Douglas Freemans 7 volume biography and others.
I may check out site in August when I attend this years ANA show.

Ben Franklin created the Libertas Americana medal to celebrate and memorialize the United State's success in the Revolutionary War, which was overlooked by the Continental Congress. Aside from that, the Ben Franklin actor is a very nice gentleman and I have spoken with him on a number of occasions.
At the ANA last year, both actors were present. I overheard Abe Lincoln telling Ben Franklin, "I've read everything you ever wrote!" Ben responded instantly, saying, "Really? I've not read anything YOU wrote!"
