In the spirit of meeting other CoinTalkers, I'd like to invite anyone who will be attending "the nation's largest coin convention" http://www.funtopics.com/Fun_Shows/FUNshow.html to post here so we can arrange a time to meet and say hello to each other! So far, we have the following members who will be in attendance: Catbert FreakyGarrett Mr. Coin Lover If you are going, please post here and indicate if you have a preferred day to meet (thus far, I think Saturday is the plan). I will PM everyone to coordinate a meeting time and place. I hope to see you at FUN!
I think I am still flying down for Wednesday to preview some lots at the Heritage auction, but I have to fly back out Wed night as I have a business conference that weekend.
Love it when you can put a face to a name or "handle". Won't be able to be there (maybe on o' these day....it's on the to do list). You fellas enjoy yourselves.
You go and have a great time gang, that is the east side version of ( bigger than ) Long Beach, my hang out. Be sure to send back lots of pics and stories.
I have a friend flying down on Weds. and we will be attending the show on Thurs. and Fri. He has to fly back Sat. morning and when I take him back to the airport I'll be 1/3 of the way there so I may go again on Sat...................John
I was able to weasel out of this one. PTL! Being on the other side of the table at one of these huge shows is strictly work, and long hours of it at that, and you don't get to see the wife and kids, and oh yeah, you have to work all weekend long just to have to be back in the office first thing Monday morning. I love coin shows, but a break every once in a while is truly appreciated.
Hey peoples, I am preparing for F.U.N. and need some cherrypicking tips. I only have the volume 2 because the book store doesn't have volume 1. Does anyone know of any that are fairly easy to find? And cherrypicking tips in general.
I'm going with my uncle on sat. He has to sell a 1860 seated liberty dollar in MS. He is trying to enter it in the auction
