<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kurisu, post: 8250226, member: 117063&quot;]Here&#039;s a thorough report about my visit today with TONS of photos and an opportunity to live vicariously through eclectic me for those who can&#039;t make it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here&#039;s a copy of what I just posted in another forum...</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know where to begin, it&#039;s been about 3 years since I&#039;ve been to a show and it was fantastic!</p><p>It was a chilly but beautiful day to drive to the Springs.</p><p>I am an extremely eclectic collector and tend to make many small collections, which should provide a nice variety of photos...Warning, I&#039;m a photographer and I took many!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I went with zero agenda about which coins to look for other than things which surprise me and coins I&#039;m not expecting to see. I ended up choosing about 3 coins I&#039;m considering buying tomorrow. I&#039;m going early so I can bring some things to submit at the PCGS table!</p><p><br /></p><p>I met some folks I know and have met over the years and I met brand new friends too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I decided to bring a few special rare Broncos coins to gift a few random beautiful people...That worked out well lol!</p><p><br /></p><p>Had an amazing and enlightening conversation with Brian Herriot about Condor Tokens <a href="http://www.druidscache.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.druidscache.com" rel="nofollow">www.druidscache.com</a> . He was so generous with the information and enthusiastic and I am in love with the Jewish cabbage coin lol! I went back just before I left and gifted him one of my Broncos coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Was super excited to have a wonderful and touching conversation with Jeff Shevlin of the So-Called Guy <a href="http://www.so-calleddollar.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.so-calleddollar.com" rel="nofollow">www.so-calleddollar.com</a> . Not only did I get a fantastic lesson on a topic I know little about, but also checked out their beautiful books! Their newest limited edition comes with a Daniel Carr coin embedded in the cover! I of course got to meet Bill Hyder too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had hilariously great timing at Temchack Auctions table with Jay <a href="http://www.temchackauction.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.temchackauction.com" rel="nofollow">www.temchackauction.com</a> as he had just bough a couple 1974 penny rolls from some guy and so we spoke at length about rolls and customer service things lol! Anyway...he had bought the two rolls as I walked up...long story short, he made an on the spot 25% profit and I bought those two rolls from him immediately <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I bumped into Don Kagin walking around showing off a beautiful gold round, you can spot a photo of that moment in my too. We had a quick conversation about very old coin rolls, S-VDBs lol! Later I got to have a couple minutes of warm conversation with Candace Kagin at their table about her childhood love of coins and some other things...just great. I went back later and gave Don one of my Broncos coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I met a nice young man named Payton Lindeman (and his younger brother) running an online dealership (and they are doing quite well with their Instagram selling as well!) and they are here in Denver! His Instagram is Classickidcoins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got to get a minute with Jeff Garrett and basically tell him it was sweet to see him again and that he actually met me so many years ago I wasn&#039;t an adult yet lol. Told him I didn&#039;t want to embarrass either one of us by telling him how many decades ago I met him lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Struck up a really fun conversation with a nice fella named Ryan with Sarasota Numismatics <a href="http://www.sarasotanumismatics.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sarasotanumismatics.com" rel="nofollow">www.sarasotanumismatics.com</a> and we spoke about a variety of things...he came across in such a wonderful way when we were talking about the coin communities online and how altruistic and generous the entire bunch tends to be. So I decided he needed to leave Colorado with a Broncos coin too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Got to David Lisot&#039;s table just as he was coming back and full disclosure, he&#039;s been one of my odd heros since I was teen going to Long Beach in the first years of the expo. He&#039;s just so honest in his approach and I love it. I deliberately looked for David because I wanted to remind him we&#039;ve met a couple times over the decades and that it was an honor to chat with him again...but I actually planned on giving him one my Broncos coins. We got to speak a bit about our YouTube channels and coin vids for a couple minutes.</p><p>He didn&#039;t know I was there to give him this coin gift from the heart when I introduced myself and after a moment he asked me if I had any &quot;cool coins&quot;?! Oh my gosh...David had no idea lol! And how excited was I to be asked to be interviewed for his ANA Cool Coins videos!!!?</p><p>David interviewed me and I told a bit of info about the Broncos coins I had brought and showed them. Then at the end of interviewing me I presented him with the coin I was speaking about. Just beautiful, that was a highlight for me and then some!</p><p><br /></p><p>I know I&#039;m leaving some stuff out but it was great to meet a couple local coin business I wasn&#039;t aware of and explore and learn and discover for hours...I needed that.</p><p>I took <b>MANY</b> PHOTOS so it&#039;ll take a handful of posts!
