[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 32014, member: 824"]FUN stands for Florida United Numismatic. They just celebrated their 50th anniversary and their show is probably the largest in the U.S., if not the world. Over 400 booths will be on display this weekend where the best of the best can be seen, bought and sold. Anywhere from 12,000 to 16,000 people will attend, what is considered, the "kickoff" show for the year. Everything from US to non-US (I used to use the word "World", but that now offends people outside of USA) coins and currency will be there. For instance, Heritage is auctioning three Brasher doubloons: [IMG]http://www.coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/brasher_doubloons/brasher_smithsonian_obv.jpg[/IMG] Not bad considering only 7 Brasher examples known to exist. Want a to see the finest known 1913 Liberty Head Nickel (one of 5)? It is ONLY insured for $4,000,000 and will be displayed this weekend. How about a 1894-S Barber Dime (Finest known conditon out of a mintage of 24)? You can see it and buy it this weekend. Between the free seminars and world class coins on display and for sale, that is what "FUN" is all about.[/QUOTE]
