Hi Mike. Somebody would have maybe wanted to show up with diagnostic equipment and library references and coin displays and gabbing and adding to the atmosphere, but somebody else hasn't reached out for years. How times passes. The Dixon Shows are always fun, though, regardless of who shows up...except for that Coinzip guy. He always tries to embarrass all the other tables by outlighting his coin displays. I trust the Mrs. and children are well.
@MichaelDixon I just had to take a look as I was born in Altoona at the Blair County Hospital. At the time both my dad and his younger brother were overseas engaged in WWII. One rarely hears of Altoona in these parts, so seeing that there is a coin shown happening there soon was quite impressive. I have not been in the city since the early 60s.
Charley, give me a call or email me sometime. You are always a welcome addition to the shows and we would love to have you! Mike
