Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2328029, member: 71723"]Local shows? Usually 4 a year. Two in Lancaster, PA, one in Reading, PA, and I usually manage to swing one other one around the region. I work the Lancaster ones because I'm heavily involved with the host club. Major shows - with a few exceptions, I like to hit either NYINC or winter FUN every year. I will usually catch one of the three Baltimore Whitman shows, sometimes two. The third one, mid-summer, is an almost never. I have now gone several years without missing an ANA show, National Money Show and World's Fair of Money. I am a National Volunteer for the ANA, which means I do whatever job they need me for at ANA shows - photography for The Numismatist included. Whatever Rhonda Scurek has for me to do, I do. On my "gotta get to" list is the OP's Gettysburg show, and a Monroeville PAN show. I'd like to "build" a "PAN East" show eventually at Reading's downtown civic center, the Santander Arena. Huge potential. That said, my best source of sweet coins is local back-country coin auctions that have no internet bidding. Most of those are in "Gound Zero" for the present Blizzard of 2016.[/QUOTE]
