FUN Show Roll Call
Now that Christmas is behind us it is time to start thinking about the largest and most important coin show of the year. The FUN show starts two weeks from today in beautiful Orlando, Florida. My mentor turned me on to the FUN show before it was a must attend show. I went to my first FUN show in 1973 in Miami and have only missed 5 shows since then. I am excited and for the first time ever at any show I have purchased an Early Bird badge.
Who else is going? I can hardly wait!

Flying in Thursday morning and back out Saturday evening. One of the perks of both staffing a Club table and being an Exhibitor is that I get in during dealers' hours for free.

I will be flying in Wednesday and fly out Sunday morning. I got the early bird pass. It's handy to have.
I'll be staying at the Rosen Centre. A lot of coin folks hang out in the bar there each evening.Larry7 -
I'll be there most of that time, with a 4 night cruise on the Utopia following the show! First FUN show since 2020.

I'll be home monitoring the internet for scraps that fall between the cracks.
Or I'll be looking in places where nobody else is looking (more optimistic interpretation). There is greater opportunity when attention is focused elsewhere.
Happy hunting to everyone, wherever you are hunting.

I'll be there in spirit. If you happen to be looking at a table with nice capped bust half dimes, and you feel a sudden cool chill and your neck hairs abruptly stand up, that would be me.

Is YOUR neck hair standing up now?
KenHey Ken! I think I've ogled that coin before. An LM-1 (3/inv3 variety). Very nice! Methinks, buying one MS66 half dime might have started a dangerous precedent...

I'll be there for the first time! I was too late to get a table but I will be bringing my photography rig, if any dealers want videos made use the form below to make an appointment. I can bring the camera to your table (it only takes up 12" x 12" of table space) or we can meet wherever you're comfortable before/during/after the show. If any dealers want to share their table so I can offer the service to show-goers use the form to get in touch and we'll work something out, or do y'all think the FUN organizers would be open to letting me do a trial run and paying if I actually make any money, instead of getting a table having a cart I could go table to table with since dealers are my primary market? Are there any tables offering photography services I'd be competing with?

Only one week to go. The weather forecast calls for highs in the 50's and low in the 40's, so bring a coat.
