I met up with BryceM yesterday at Long Beach. What an impressive man. As nice as they come.

If we ever do a Forum float trip he’s going to be on my raft

    But did you find him "interesting"? :)

    I’m the tight pants dude in our budding relationship.

    this is shocking when I realize it comes from a member who was engaged to Dimeman over at the Sports Forum!! :p:D how'd that work out?? >:)

    We met up at the at the Tyrant Collection, both realized our own collections suck, and talked a bit about everything but coins. Didn’t notice any tight pants....... wasn’t aware of any engagements.......

    Surprisingly normal dude, for a coin collector. :)

    I think we did decide that people are generally quite a bit nicer in person than online.

    How was the collection display? Set up so you could get a good view of the coins? Maybe a show update is in order... Would love to have seen it. For some reason the shows are in places like Long Beach, Florida or someplace far from here. Not sure when the Detroit Exhibition will start so collectors will flock to the jewel of the mid-west!

  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,868 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The display was right next to the entrance and really nicely done with good photos and descriptions of each coin. Everything was presented in museum-type cases (with plenty of armed and unarmed security)..... but it was a bit surreal in a way. The 1933 $10 was just lying there looking just a little bit like every other $10 Indian on the bourse. In truth, as a type collector, I don't appreciate enough the condition rarity (and absolute rarity) of coins like that. I'm the 16 year-old kid working at McDonalds that wonders, in an ignorant sort of way, about the Lamborghini that just drove past. All the while maybe I'm having plenty of fun working on my rusted-out Mustang behind the barn.......

    Maybe I'm a little deficient in numismatic spirit, but I felt the same way about the 1913 nickel and 1804 dollars I've seen at other shows. I think it's much more fun to look at stuff that could, perhaps, possibly be attainable someday. I had loads of fun looking through early US type at the auction. Small Eagle 1/2 dollars, Bust Half Eagles and such. How on earth does a small eagle half-dime retain mint luster for 200 years?

    Missed you guys yesterday....lame on me. Let’s meet up next year. That Tyrant display has caused me to reconsider what “nice” and “rare” mean. It was mind numbing.

    Yes we met at FUN this year Kk and 'twas FUN! I think I met BryceM (the purpose of this thread) a few shows back, either an ANA or a FUN don't remember which but if I recall correctly it was at the Laibstain table. Have not met justacommeman (thread progenitor) yet - we have to convince him, and everyone else, to come to FUN next year!

    Mark and Bryce and a couple others of you are forum members I'd like to hang out with for a few minutes sometime. I've met a handful of forumites over the years, including one yesterday.

    I’ve met a few forumites over the years. The big get-togethers seem to happen around FUN or the ANA show which I don’t get to very often. It’s something we should do more of, sort of a traveling nationwide coin club. The people in the hobby are the best part.

    A float trip would be fun too, but if there’s banjo music, I’m out.

    Just saying.
    Nothing like a trip down the Brandywine River/Creek.
