Catherine, for the first time, will attend this show with me next weekend! I’m so excited! https://www.northwestcoinclub.com/nwcc-money-show.html I have three coins on my list so far that I’ll be looking for at this show, as follows. 1) Classic head cent - hoping to find one in the XF range 2) Seated Liberty quarter - will be seeking a MS example here 3) Seated Liberty dollar - I think it shouldn’t be too hard to find a nice AU piece at this venue We are going down to The Twin Cities Friday next week, bringing the puppies with us, and spending the night. Stay tuned……
I looked at a previous year recap on the show's website and I was very impressed by the efforts made to involve young numismatists. Enjoy your visit and happy hunting with your wish list.
Sounds great! Hoping you both have a great time and wishing you the best in finding the three coins you want. Please keep us posted and post photos.
Yes, out of all the shows I've attended, this one is where I've seen the most younger people roaming about. You see most dealers handing out freebies to the YN's as well. Refreshing to see.
Thanks, Denis! The hunt is most of the fun, in my opinion. Tom Reynolds is always at this show and I'm looking forward to seeing what he has for Classic Head cents.
Thanks, Dave! I'll keep you all updated next week, and of course there will be pictures of whatever treasures I walk away with.
@samclemens3991 , you mentioned about taking in this show in one of your postings not too long ago. @Eric Babula , what say you? It isn't that far of a trek over for you, no?
@BuffaloHunter . Thanks for the notification. Unfortunately I am scheduled to work a job from March20th thru the 22nd. Hope you find your coins and have a good time. James
It's about a 5-hour drive to get there. I'll have to talk to the calendar-keeper and see what's going on. My birthday is the 26th, so it sure would be nice to go there and get myself some birthday presents!!!
I made a lanyard for my show adventure. Many a time I’ve called out what I’m looking for and a dealer will grab it out of the extra boxes behind the table. Now they can see what I’m looking for hanging around my neck. Once I started looking at price lists, I revised my grade targets.
That's a great idea if you're looking for only a few things. Mine would probably say, "Want List: Everything!" Too bad the budget doesn't allow for that! :'(
Oh, don’t get me wrong, this dog gets distracted by hubcaps from all vehicles as well. I’ve done many a show where my budgeted amount is met and I didn’t cross anything off my list!
