Booked my Flight for the ANA!

Boosibri · June 17, 2021 7:55AM

Crazy to be back to coin shows. Anyone else planning to go?

skier07 · June 17, 2021 7:57AM

Good for you. I’ll be at Long Beach in the fall.

2ndCharter · June 17, 2021 8:54AM

Me, too - booked my flight, my hotel room, made arrangements for the Club Table that I'll be helping out at, and am just finishing up my Exhibit Application. Nice to finally get back to at least semi-normal.

panexpoguy · June 17, 2021 9:26AM

All reservations made.

ricko · June 17, 2021 9:29AM

Glad to see so many planning to attend. Show reports please... and bullion sales should be interesting if the current dip continues. Cheers, RickO

ElmerFusterpuck · June 17, 2021 9:34AM

Long Beach tickets are booked!

cardinal · June 17, 2021 9:47AM

I'll be there with another display, with some things that haven't been seen for a long time.

DelawareDoons · June 17, 2021 1:07PM

I am struggling with the idea of paying what? $230/night for a hotel room.

ScarsdaleCoin · June 17, 2021 1:17PM

Well to all those who do attend we will be at table 911 Guess we are the emergency coin dealer this year

Desert Moon · June 17, 2021 1:18PM

If I can, I will be there, but booking about 2 weeks in advance if I do.

Kliao · June 17, 2021 1:28PM

I live around a half hour away from the convention center and my dad has agreed to take a day off of work so we can attend on Wednesday and possibly on Saturday.

2ndCharter · June 17, 2021 1:36PM

Don't stay at the "official" convention hotel - I'm right across the street at the Crowne Plaza Hotel for $140/night.

golden · June 17, 2021 1:41PM

Booked my hotel yesterday. This will be my 51st ANA convention. Can't wait.

Oh, thanks for the tip. Time to go check and see if I can get off work.

golden · June 17, 2021 1:56PM

My hotel is about $88 including taxes. Drive a little and save a lot.

My hotel is $210 a night and very close because Chicago PD frowns on drunk driving. I tell them it is Numismatic Miracle Juice but they say it is Scotch.

hahaha

Indeed, some of my best coins were bought while juicing.

This thread is worthless without details. Airline? Airplane? Seat?

2ndCharter · June 17, 2021 3:23PM

This thread is worthless without details. Airline? Airplane? Seat?

I have a ton of miles and credits from cancelled flights over the past year so I booked a First Class Ticket on American - Seat 1A on all flights!! Then, free shuttle service to my hotel right across the street from the Convention Center.

No Headlights · June 17, 2021 3:39PM

I will be there. Just a four hour drive. Well worth it!

Boosibri · June 17, 2021 4:53PM

I can only do the Tuesday do fly in and out that day from vacation with my family in northern Michigan.

DelawareDoons · June 17, 2021 5:06PM

Looks like I am going, Tuesday to Thursday.

Bulkhead and almost no view of the wing? Yuck. Gotta at least sit in 2A. Or maybe the exit row with the wing 🥰

jdmern · June 18, 2021 3:05AM

We'll be there at table 1323!

Treashunt · June 18, 2021 4:12AM

Still thinking about it.

2ndCharter · June 18, 2021 4:26AM

I don't mind the bulkhead and it guarantees nobody in front of me sticks the back of their seat in my face. Besides, I really like being the first one off the plane.

NoGold · June 18, 2021 9:33AM

I noticed some of the hotels near the convention center that had rooms last month are now sold out for the ANA dates.

Ike1964 · June 18, 2021 11:15AM

I will be attending. Not sure which day yet.

golden · June 18, 2021 11:51AM

There is also a stamp show in the same convention center the same week. My cousin is big into stamps. I called her yesterday and she will be coming to the stamp show. We agreed to meet and have dinner one night. She lives 2000 miles from me . It will be a rare opportunity for us to get together. How cool is that!

Yeah, but no seat in front of you to put your feet under.

I was in Anchorage last summer and got upgraded to 2A on the flight home. One guy really wanted to be first off, so right before we got on the runway to takeoff, he decided we arrived and grabbed his stuff and ran to the front of the plane. He was the first one off, but after we taxied back to the gate to kick him off. At least I got a great view of the action from my seat 😂

Likely still in AK. Can't go to my place in Canada. Jan FUN '22?

Tibor · June 18, 2021 9:11PM

Got my room reservations tonite. Will be there most of the week.

RockyMtnProspector · June 19, 2021 2:36AM

I'll be there!

pcgscacgold · June 19, 2021 3:05AM

I will attend but not sure which day. Need to check in with some dealers to see what works best.

Coinosaurus · June 20, 2021 7:04AM

The real mystery here is why Boosibri isn't driving.

On vacation in northern Michigan with the family which is a 6-7 hr drive vs the normal 2. I get one day to myself apparently which will be a quick trip to the ANA. Flying from Traverse City to Chicago and back in a day.

The Latin American pieces in the Cape Coral sale are a must see for me.

Better to see them in a more relaxed and less crowded environment in NYC lot viewing.

Have you viewed them yet?

Fishpro · June 20, 2021 9:25AM

The week before ANA is a big show in Las Vegas,

WAYNEAS · June 20, 2021 12:43PM

Shows, shows and more shows. Yeah!

Looking forward to going to some.
Wayne

Fishpro · June 20, 2021 12:46PM

Can go to Las Vegas and get warmed up for the ANA

Tibor · June 20, 2021 1:17PM

If I counted correctly, there approximately 420 tables. I could have mis-counted.
I thought previous W.F. ANA shows were larger. Is the number of tables set in
stone or will they be able to add more to meet the demand. There are approximately
70 still unspoken for tables. I figured this being one of the largest shows since the
pandemic shut down tables would be in demand

I did read that they are limiting it to around 500 tables to adhere to public health guidelines and social distancing but more may be added if guidelines are changed by the time of the show.

MrEureka · June 20, 2021 3:07PM

I'll be there for for the duration, starting with "Dealer Day" on Monday. I'm sure the show will be fantastic. Not so sure what to expect for Dealer Day though. Does anyone here know how many tables they sold for Dealer Day?

The ANA just started assigning tables last week. The process is slow,it will continue this week.

amwldcoin · June 20, 2021 6:11PM

Go look at the prices of those tables! Unless you are selling 100K+ they make ebay look like the sweetest deal on the planet! Don't forget all the other costs involved which moves the bar way higher.

Tibor · July 1, 2021 8:10PM

Anybody else planning on going? This should be a good show.

joeykoins · July 1, 2021 8:17PM

Yes! Another show in my hometown State.
Only about 40 miles away. I'll be there looking for any "door raffles!"
Some of you may know why?

Kliao · July 2, 2021 4:38AM

I keep looking at the assigned floor map and I don't see the US Mint there. Am I missing something? I would think they would take the big spot next to the Tyrant Collection.

Tibor · July 2, 2021 6:58AM

In previous years, the ANA would have an area set a side for foreign mints along
with the U.S. mint. They would have "Passport Cards" for YN's and parents that
they could fill with a coin from each mint. I don't see that either.

Booked my Flight for the ANA!
