I'll be heading off to the PNNA Tukwila show which starts on Friday and goes through Sunday (May 2-4, 2014) - who else is going? 85 local, regional and national numismatic dealer booths. See the 2014 convention program and dealer list (PDF file) – find your favorite dealer's location on the bourse floor before you arrive at the show! The dealer list is also available as a separate HTML webpage. ANACS (grading service) will be at the show again in 2014! Look for them on the bourse floor! Note: ANACS accepts submissions but a grader will not be present at the show. Public show hours: Friday Noon - 7:00 PM, Saturday 10 AM - 6 PM, Sunday 10 AM - 4 PM. Admission $2.00 per day, $5.00 for all three days. Children 12 and under are free. "Early Bird" admission (9:00 AM Fri/Sat/Sun) $30.00. Convention program/map handed out with paid admission. Plenty of free off-street parking. – See the driving directions. Located just 10 minutes from SeaTac Airport and 20 minutes from downtown Seattle. Oldest and biggest coin show in the Pacific Northwest. Free sample copies of The Nor'wester available, or view the PDF file. Educational Numismatic Theater presentations and meetings on Saturday. Outstanding competitive collector exhibits, and a club table in the exhibit area. Young numismatist (YN) treasure hunt. See Young Numismatist (YN) program information. Boy and Girl Scout programs – See scouting page. Hourly door prizes. Medals for the ANA 2015 Portland show will likely be ready for sale (more info coming soon), and there will be souvenir elongated coins with a new design, and you can make your own with the PNNA’s “penny press.” http://www.pnna.org/convention/convention.html
Have safe travels and a great show PL. Thanks again for the referral on the photo, it's now on the MSNS web site.
You ever think about coming to the local coin club convention here in NC? And will you be in Baltimore in June and/or Chicago in August?
In order for me to travel to a show that requires air travel, it usually needs to be a pretty good sized show in order for it to be profitable for me. The Tukwila show is probably on the smaller size with only about 100 dealers but I get to stay with my brother which more than makes it worth it for me. I will not be at the June Baltimore since it conflicts with the ANA Summer Seminar session I will be attending, but I will be at both the PNG preshow and the Chicago ANA in August - which will also be the "swan song" for my Penny Potpourri exhibit and for my exhibiting days altogether! If you make it to Chicago in August, please be sure to stop by my table and say hi.
I plan on being in Chicago. It's a good chance to go to the show and see my grandkids who live in Schaumburg. I'll be looking for you.
Had a great visit with Charmy this morning, i remember her from the past show's, it was a little slow so we had a nice chat, what a sweetheart. She will be doing a write up so i won't give away all her surprises.
