<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverMike, post: 2924486, member: 78609&quot;]My two kids and I went to the Fort Collins Coin Club Show yesterday and had a great experience.&nbsp; We recently moved from Texas to Colorado, so this was our first show since moving out here.</p><p><br /></p><p>The venue was nice - an events center in downtown Fort Collins.&nbsp; According to the ad, there were about 40 tables on the bourse and there was a nice variety of material.&nbsp; We were there late morning and the bourse was crowded, which I&#039;ll take any day compared to an empty bourse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My son is a Silver bug so he quickly found a bullion dealer and got the SpiderMan coin, which came in an AirTite and cloth bag. </p><p><br /></p><p>My daughter is working on her cent collection, so she found one dealer who sold her a roll of wheat cents and another guy who sold her some individual cents she was missing, including an 09VDB and a 10 and 11.&nbsp; She was so excited that those came right out the 2x2s and into the book.&nbsp; She also got the silver Pegasus coin because she likes horses <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The dealers were nice to the kids and gave them a couple foreign coins, the mint markers for P and D mints, and the African currency.&nbsp; I&#039;m always grateful when dealers do those little things to show kids the variety of things out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was looking for two things for my Dansco 7070:&nbsp; a nice SLQ Type 1 (didn&#039;t find one with enough detail) and a Shield nickel with no rays.&nbsp; I found the nickel, which I&#039;ve looked for at other shows to no avail.&nbsp; So that was a happy find.[ATTACH=full]708835[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The buzz of the show seemed positive and I saw busy tables and money changing hands.&nbsp; Hopefully it was a good show for all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
