[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7758739, member: 75482"]FUN stands for [U]F[/U]lorida [U]U[/U]nited [U]N[/U]umismatists. The "shows" are the organization's semi-annual conventions, open to the public. The highlight is the bourse floor with hundreds of dealers, large and small, all under one roof. There are also exhibits and educational forums. The winter convention is typically larger than the summer. As you might imagine, folks are more enthusiastic about visiting Florida in January than in July. If you are making the show part of a family vacation, the Orange County Convention Center is located on International Drive in Orlando, midway between Universal Studios and Sea World. Disney is less than 10 miles away. My one caveat is that if you are attending any large coin show for one day only, don't pick the last day as you may find that some dealers have already packed up. As a long-time FUN member, I can assure you that newbies are always welcome! [URL]http://funtopics.com/[/URL][/QUOTE]
