Hey everyone, last spring I went to the NWCC Spring coin show, and it was the best (and only) coin show I've ever attended. I was bored in class and decided to look up the dates for next years, when I found that there is also a Fall show. I'm planning on going there Sunday, and maybe Saturday if I'm not scheduled to work that day, though they love to give me 8-hour shifts when they can. I was wondering if anyone else was going, and I'm pretty excited to go myself! If it's anything like last time, it'll be great. Its October 7-9th, so I'm pretty lucky I looked it up when I did.
I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Friday, I typically walk the floor and make a list of coins/dealers that I'd like to come back to on Saturday. Unless, of course, I see something that just HAS to be in my collection....then it's a BIN! If you can make it on Saturday, maybe this time we can meet. I met @medoraman at the March show this year.
Yeah, I will be there but most likely Saturday. Given MN, usually not any luck with ancients but will cruise around and see what trips my trigger. Last year I was wanting bulk buffalos and a Fugio cent. I got the Fugio at the show, and was able to get a few thousand buffalos earlier this year, so no idea whatsoever I might buy.
@Rushmore @mlov43 @Jeffjay @BlackberryPie , what say you folks? @mlov43 , I wouldn't mind purchasing an autographed copy of your book, Mark, if you plan on attending!
Sorry, @Noah Worke , didn't mean to hijack your thread........but I get really excited about this show, too! Would be nice to keep it all in one thread if we can plan a "meet and greet" with a number of us CT'ers.
Not a problem, I enjoy the traffic! I agree, it is a fantastic show. A meet and greet is a good idea, if I can make it Saturday I'd be sure to attend.
I’ll be there from noon until six on Friday and noon until ?? on Saturday. Let’s see if we can make something work!
I’ll see what I can do. I’m in school full-time for my RN so my free time is usually spent on homework.
Doesn't look like I'll be there Friday or Saturday, unfortunately. It does look like I'll be there Sunday, though, so maybe I'll still be able to find something good like I did last year.
I had a chance to talk to one of the club members at the end of the day and was told that 300 people came through the doors at noon when the show opened and at the halfway point (3PM) there were 500 people in the building. There were a few familiar dealers missing but in their place were dealers I had not seen before and therefore all new material to peruse. I made a number of purchases today and have more planned for tomorrow. I’ll have to do a full show report with pics after the weekend is over. Tomorrow, I’ll be wearing this shirt. @mlov43 , are you still planning on attending? If so, I’ll wait in the lobby at noon.
I can try to be there about noon tomorrow but it will be tight with a soccer game for the kiddo in the morning. @mlov43, any extra copies of the book? I would buy one if I could get your autograph. I still need to get Bill Daehn's on a couple of his books.
Yes, I was there, but I showed up late at 1pm due to my own appointment this morning. I walked around with the book in my hand, but I figured I missed you and BuffaloHunter... I will come back tomorrow (Sunday) if you are able to show up. I can be on time tomorrow! @medoraman @BuffaloHunter
Dang it, we probably walked right by each other. I left around 1:30. Can you PM me with details to get an autographed copy from you?
