<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 2215087, member: 19423&quot;]I was able to spend a couple of days at the recent ANA World&#039;s Fair of Money in Chicago.&nbsp; I have family and friends in the Chicago area that I try to visit every year so I made sure to plan my trip so I could spend a day or two at the big coin show as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had a great time at the show.&nbsp; I was only there for two days (Tuesday and Thursday), but to me it seemed a little busier than it was last year.&nbsp; Of course it was hard to tell because of all of the action and craziness of the gold Kennedy coins at last year&#039;s show.&nbsp; At the show I was able to buy several coins and I sold several too.&nbsp; Won&#039;t get into the details of that as this isn&#039;t the place on the forum for postings coins which will be for sale soon.&nbsp; I&#039;ll update my website and do a post in the For Sale section of the forum sometime this week for those interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also enjoyed seeing all of the neat items brought for display.&nbsp; The various World Mints that attend the show are also fun as you get to see many interesting pieces and I was able to get lots of new inventory for the local coin clubs to give out as raffle prizes over the next few months.&nbsp; It is a really great show and if you&#039;ve never been to an ANA World&#039;s Fair of Money before, I certainly recommend that you try to attend.&nbsp; Next year it&#039;ll be in Anaheim so start making your plans!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some photos I took this week...</p><p><br /></p><p>Shot of the Sears Tower out my car window on the way to the show</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Convention Center</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Crowd waiting to get in on opening day</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>President Walt Ostromecki opening up the show just before the ribbon cutting</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA04.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Display @ PCGS table</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA05.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Display @ PCGS table</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA06.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>ANA display of 1804 dollar and 1913 nickel</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA07.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Amazing 1792 half dime</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA08.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The next several shots are of some of the collectors exhibits at the show... these are certainly one of the highlights of the big ANA shows and I only took pics of a few of them.&nbsp; There were dozens of others and all were very interesting.&nbsp; You could spend hours just looking at the collectors exhibits at these shows.</p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA09.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA12.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA13.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA14.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA15.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA16.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA17.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.kittlecoins.com/photos/0815ANA18.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
