F.U.N. Show Question Re:Auctions

I’ve never been able to attend the F.U.N. show in Florida. I’m finally planning on retiring from my retirement job as a school bus driver after Christmas break. There is a coin that I finally have the funds for and I’d like to pursue it at that venue. Have Stacks, Heritage or Great Collections had an auction scheduled immediately after the show? It’d be a great opportunity to view lots at the show.
Thank you for any information on this.

Immediately as in the following week, then Yes for Stacks and Heritage and GC does their normal Sunday auction. The FUN auctions (and other larger shows) years ago were onsite but since Covid have now mostly moved to the week after the show (and mostly true for the other larger shows). Lot viewing is available at the FUN show for these auctions. This last FUN show Heritage had an on-site auction for the Large Cents (Col. Ellsworth) part.

The Heritage FUN sale is scheduled for January 14-18, 2026, the week after the show. Lots will be on display there.
The FUN show is huge, extremely active and exciting. I wish you a wonderful experience there.

Auction lot viewing is one of the reasons I go to FUN and some of the larger shows. It is well worth the effort, and very educational, to view lots in person and compare that to the auction descriptions. There are times that I've decided not to bid, or decided to bid considerably more, after viewing lots in person. Even if you are not bidding, I find it very educational.

I am not sure what you are looking to buy, but many of the top dealers in the country will be there and your coin may be in a dealers case on the floor. I went a couple years ago and Heritage had a few days of lot viewing for their upcoming big sales (all lots). If I remember correctly, Stacks and Great Collections had some of their sale highlights at their exhibits.
I recall you sold your 1877 Indian Head to @winesteven so what ever coin you are looking for, I'm sure it will be spectacular! Please remember to share it with us.
