in U.S. Coin Forum

I booked my flight and room last night.
Early Bird arrival Wednesday.
Flight home is Friday at 5:00.
I am so excited!!

I hope to meet some forum members while there.
How about sharing coin stories and see NEWPs over dinner?
Anybody going who’d like some company?

    I can't wait! I went 2 years ago for the first time and was in awe. I have my wish list ready to go but sometimes it's the unexpected that is the most exciting!

    Booked my hotel room 5 or 6 months ago. Be interesting what folks are having to pay now. I'm staying on the cheap since I just need a bed to sleep in. Free parking right across the street for $46 a night!

    random question, has anyone ever gotten coins reholdered at a show? Was it a smooth process? I think I saw it’s $20/coin

    Perhaps against my better judgment, I bought a table (Select Rarities) in June for the upcoming show and got the hotel and flights set up. Waiting for the table draw to see where I'll be planted. Should be the first opportunity to distribute my upcoming Trade dollar varieties book that has consumed practically my entire time during the pandemic.

    You mean that deadly covid that is 99.7% non fatal?
