Central States Coin Show Chicago Roll Call

gecko109 · March 31, 2008 5:19AM

Who will be attending this show April 16th-19th, and who would like to meet up for lunch on Saturday the 19th?

Edited to add: Maybe a big breakfast early on Saturday the 19th is a better idea. Anyone interested?

STONE · March 31, 2008 5:21AM

Unfortunately I will miss the show by 4 days.

Oh well, I'm buying a car very soon and will be very broke!

fishteeth · March 31, 2008 5:24AM

I will be driving down for Friday.

foodude · March 31, 2008 5:27AM

I'll be there throughout the show- Table #1800.

gecko109 · March 31, 2008 5:34AM

Im working a 24 hour shift on the 18th (8am to 8am) so if im not zombie tired that Friday morning when I get off, I may go. Otherwise i'll check it out on Saturday. Heck, maybe both days.

tmot99 · March 31, 2008 5:36AM

I'll be there for the show. Booth 2108.

Rob41281 · March 31, 2008 5:43AM

I may try to check it out one day.Never been to a show before. Work in Des Plaines so its about 5 mins from me. Is any particular day the best day to go?

WTCG · March 31, 2008 5:55AM

I will be there from Wednesday until Saturday afternoon.

Julian · March 31, 2008 7:32AM

Please stop by my table and say hello!!

gecko109 · March 31, 2008 7:41AM

<< Please stop by my table and say hello!! >>

Absolutely Julian. Will be a pleasure to meet you in person im sure. About a year ago, I wrote to you needing advice about whether or not I should buy a standard silver quarter pattern in copper. After discussing what had been in my collection at that time, you advised me to pass since the coin wouldnt quite "fit" with my other pieces. Not sure if you recall those emails, but I was impressed that a famous dealer such as yourself would take the time to help a relative "nobody" with free advice like that!

wayneherndon · March 31, 2008 7:45AM

We'll be there for the whole show (Wednesday through Saturday).

MadMarty · March 31, 2008 7:56AM

I should be there Sat, I'm in OR that week working.

messydesk · March 31, 2008 7:59AM

I'll be there at least Thursday or Friday.

Raybo · March 31, 2008 9:30AM

I'll be there with a fat wallet.

Ray

bestday · March 31, 2008 9:33AM

guym · March 31, 2008 9:47AM

guym · March 31, 2008 9:50AM

Please stop by my table and say hello!!
What is your table number Julian?

Cratylus · March 31, 2008 10:26AM

I'll be there on Wed and Thurs.

bushmaster8 · March 31, 2008 10:31AM

I'll be there Fursday and Triday.

dorancoins · March 31, 2008 11:37AM

Will be there on the 18th for the club representative breakfast (representing ILNA). Depending on the outcome of the election (yes, I am one of the candidates), might be there on the 19th to get sworn in.

Update 04/09 - Did not win election (more likely than not it was rigged) and my employer had denied me the day off for the breakfast, so no can do for me.

Coinosaurus · March 31, 2008 11:45AM

I'll be there. It is nice to have a large show in one's own backyard. On the other hand, I have to pay for parking

dorancoins · March 31, 2008 11:57AM

Paying for parking sucks!

segoja · March 31, 2008 1:18PM

Stop by my table.

Some neat stuff as always!!!

Always like seeing the forum members in person.

Some of them even carry funny items like ruber chickens!!!

walkerman · March 31, 2008 10:21PM

I will be at my table for the entire show. Please stop and say hello. Dave W.

The sorrow of poor quality lingers on long after the joy of low prices has been forgotten.

for all of you guys inviting us to stop at your table, please let us know what your table number is.

messydesk · March 31, 2008 10:53PM

<< I'll be there. It is nice to have a large show in one's own backyard. On the other hand, I have to pay for parking

>>

Park at the blue line station on River Road for something like $3. The walk isn't much farther than if you park in the $11 (or is it $15 now) garage.

I've got to figure out where that's at. Even though I'm local, my boss and hiw wife are coming in and staying downtown. I grabbed a room downtown too and plan to take the blue line out each morning.

agentjim007 · March 31, 2008 11:02PM

The CTA parking is just south of the river rd exit off 294. 1/4 mile before you get to the convention center ((before you go under the train tracks) on the east side. You can now you a credit card so you don't have to have 3 bucks in quarters.

Patches · March 31, 2008 11:19PM

Wouldn't miss it, plan to be there open to close Saturday or Sunday

doh · April 1, 2008 12:51AM

I plan to be there on Saturday....not sure how fat my wallet will be though. I'm going to Vegas the following weekend. If only I was going to Vegas the week before I could spend all my winnings at the show!

Just play nickel slots in Vegas, and go large at the coin show.

Seriously, whenever I get the itch to gamble, and go to the local casino boats, if I lose $500 or so I get depressed thinking about what a nice seated dime, or large cent I could have added to my collection instead.

That lesson was learned that the last time I had a rental car when I attended the Mid-America Show. Does the CTA allow overnight parking at their lots?

amiller · April 2, 2008 5:25AM

I will be there Thursday and at least part of Friday (not sure how much time to plan as I have not been to the CSNS show before).

If there is a meeting place decided on for Saturday morning I will stay and see you then!

gecko109 · April 9, 2008 12:30AM

TTT.....Im almost as excited to meet some of you guys as I am about seeing some world class coins!

BigMoose · April 9, 2008 12:45AM

I will be there from Wed. PM through Sat. unless my flight gets cancelled!

smallchange · April 9, 2008 9:48AM

I have been looking on mapquest to decide if I want to go. It appears I am about 5 hours away which is not to bad, but looks a little complicated. I need a GPS. Looks like next year it will be in my home town of Cincinnati so maybe I will just wait for next years show, but I will be sure to check with by local dealer to see if he brings back anything exciting for me this year.

speety · April 9, 2008 11:27AM

I'll be there all day friday and possibly a little on saturday. Anyone else going to the LSCC meeting? If so be sure to say hi, i'll be the really happy one because i'm missing a day of school!

bestday · April 9, 2008 12:43PM

Does the dealer crowd thin out on Saturday ?

If coming from the southeast, DO NOT attempt to take I-65 to I-80/94 or I-90. It is closed. You'll need to take either US 231 or US 30 west and hook up with IL 394, then go north. Consult a map for specifics. Also, I think there's a lot of construction I-294 between I-80 and O'Hare, and the best way to go may be through the city on I-94 and I-90.

parts of 65 are closed, however, the construction on 294 between ohare and 80 is not that bad....only moderate increases in travel times during rush hours only.

JeremyDie1 · April 9, 2008 1:41PM

I will be there,not sure which day.

Coinosaurus · April 9, 2008 1:43PM

And I'll be missing a day of work. Sounds like a win-win to me

ColonialCoinUnion · April 9, 2008 1:49PM

We'll be at Table #404 for the duration.

JrGMan2004 · April 10, 2008 7:00AM

I shall be there on Saturday. Flying up Friday nite and going to spend the morning/afternoon at the show before heading home.

Also, have arranged a transaction for a pretty important coin for my collection that should be completed at the show.

Greeniejr · April 10, 2008 7:21AM

I will be there PNG Day through Friday.

<< Does the dealer crowd thin out on Saturday ? >>

Yes and no. Dealers are required to stay until the end on Saturday however all of the largest dealers pack up their coins and leave 1 case with 1 coin to say that they are there. Whether I agree with it or not is irrelevant. The biggest issue is that Saturday is the first Passover Seder meaning that any practicing Jews need to get home to clean and cook (note the good old boys of the CSNS board apparently don't know that there are Jewish Coin Dealers). So anyhow visit Harlan J. Berk's table where I am not sure we will be there. If you have problems with the lack of general attendance Saturday, complain to the board so they can ignore you too.
