ANA National Money Show WITH RESULTS AND PICS

cacheman · March 10, 2009 4:05PM

If anyone is heading for the Money Show in Portland, Oregon this weekend then please meander through the exhibit area to visit my "Ludwig Gies: Cast Art Medals from "The Great War" display. I've put together five display cases exhibiting 18 of Gies' medals which are all R-7 and R-8 rarity. Several pieces have been 'rediscovered' and haven't been seen since 1916. It's my first attempt at exhibiting but I think if you visit you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The show opens Friday at 10:00am and closes at 2:00 on Sunday.

Hope to see you there.

I wish I could be there - it sounds like quite a fantastic display of Gies. Knock their socks off!

Too far of a drive for me.

spoon · March 11, 2009 3:22AM

I'll be looking forward to hear your thoughts after it

Tootawl · March 11, 2009 6:27AM

I wish I could make it there.

I won't be able to attend. Is there any chance you could take some pictures and share the exhibit with us here on the forum?

Ricke · March 12, 2009 2:22AM

I'll be there, and I'll make sure to take a look.

sounds like a great exhibit

It's all set up... Made a run over to Portland today and got the display set up. Exhibit #28. I think it turned out quite nice actually. I'll try to get some pics when I go back over on Saturday and Sunday.

What can I say for my first attempt at exhibiting in a National show, and against 37 other excellent exhibits? It was fun, a learning experience, and now I'm hooked. I just hope it gets easier with display construction with each show I enter.

The quality of the pics is so-so but you'll get the picture.

Very nice, Scott. Congratulations.

Muygrandeoso · March 16, 2009 4:04AM

Congrats on the best in show!!!

I was a little disappointed in the show. I did not find much that interested me and found many of the dealers in a less than jaunty mood, although I did hear one dealer say that they had the best show ever...I think that was an exception.

I'd say you did a good job! Looks good from here, as about opposite sides of the country as possible!

Great work on your display - and Congratulations!

Hi Chris. There were claims of 10,000 in attendance to the exhibits and show which seems to be a good figure considering the economy. Probably a lot of people just looking as opposed to buying. In honesty, I never went across the divider into the bourse...I couldn't afford to because I'm finishing up on a Goetz family deal for all of Karl's apprenticeship and Paris Period design books that have never been seen before.

Oohh.... this needs some elaboration.

Congrats on all your hard work and best of show result (first of many, I'm sure).

Hussulo · March 16, 2009 9:00AM

Superb display and congrats with your best of show prize.

coinkat · March 16, 2009 9:03AM

Congrats and well done

Stork · March 16, 2009 9:22AM

Awesome and Congratulations! I can't wait until you do a Goetz one

I saw the exhibit in person. IMHO, the "Best in Show" award was well deserved. Congrats!

IloiloKano · March 16, 2009 11:23AM

First attempt yields First Place and Best In Show? Your modesty is extraordinary! "Congratulations" is an understatement, but I can't think of any greater superlative.

1960NYGiants · March 16, 2009 12:31PM

Wow!!! Congratulations. I wish I could have seen it in person.

Iosephus · March 16, 2009 2:29PM

A great looking display; congratulations!

Doogy · March 16, 2009 2:34PM

wow, Wow, WOW!

congrats, a wonderful display! I'm sorry i missed it, but hope to see it soon at a show!

spoon · March 16, 2009 2:52PM

Looks great!

I'll second Cathy's comments, but I really hope I'll be in driving distance when you put that one together!

And I continue to be amazed by your Goetz acquisitions. Simply leagues above and beyond what the casual collector can even comprehend! Your passionate study is a true service to the field of numismatics. So congrats on that as well, and here's hoping the process continues to work itself out smoothly.

Congrats, Scott.
