Question About Baltimore ANA Schedule

Could anyone tell me the exact earliest time and date when the general public ( or ANA members like myself ) will be able to enter the convention floor of the upcoming ANA World's Fair of Money Show?

Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you do not want to pay an early bird fee, then 10AM on Wednesday, 7/30 is the time. I am going to post a PNG invitation for guests for admission into PNG day 7/29 in the near future.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    Thank you all for the information!!!

    It looks like I will want to get in at 10AM on Wednesday.

    The schedule above does not list this, but is there public registration sometime before 10AM on Wednesday? I plan on arriving in Baltimore early on Wednesday, staying one day only, and would like to get in right at 10AM if possible.

    Thanks for any info!

    Are you an ANA member? You can pre-register on their site and they'll send your admission badge in the mail before the conference.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Yes, I am an ANA member. My wife, who will be with me, is not. Can she ( or both of us if needed ) register before 10AM at the convention site on Wednesday?

    Don't forget, Friday 1-4 pm, our own ModernDollarNut will be presenting "The New IKE's"!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Looks like you can download the registration form PDF on the ANA site and fax it in, it has a space for a guest name. It says they will mail badges on July 10. Feel free to call the ANA, they are pretty good about helping out.

    If that doesn't work for you, you can register onsite on Wednesday starting at 9 AM even though the bourse doesn't open until 10.

    From NN...................

    PNG Day set July 29 in Baltimore

    Collectors will have the chance to participate in an exclusive buying and selling session at the annual PNG Day, conducted by the Professional Numismatists Guild in conjunction with the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money.

    It is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 29 at the Baltimore Convention Center. An invitation is required for admission.

    “Invitations to attend the PNG Day are available free from participating PNG member-dealers as well as from PNG headquarters,” said Robert Brueggeman, PNG executive director.

    More than 60 PNG member-dealers will have booths, prominently designated with PNG banners, for buying and selling numismatic merchandise at the Baltimore PNG Day show.

    For more information, contact PNG by calling (760) 728-1300, or by e-mail at info@PNGdealers.com.

  • What is the registration for?
  • krankykranky Posts: 8,709 ✭✭✭
    You have to register to get in, they give you a badge which is needed for admission to any show activities (seminars, bourse, exhibits). It's free.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • Ok Thanks

    Ricardouno - Can you turn on your PM? Want to see if you want to meet at the ANA show.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
