The FUN Show in Orlando. Jan. 5th-8th

Yes, someone please take pics of JM's exhibit. I won't be able to take any time off until late spring. Waah!

I might go. Problem is that I'm not a dealer, just a collector. It would be good to find other collectors to talk to. I guess dealers get together and talk about sales and business.

Still it might be fun to go to look at things. Prices are also extremely strong at this time so I'll just be looking.

 

The folks from CT and other sites (where many of us go to more than one forum) usually congregate during the show and even off-hours. Staying at the same hotel makes it easier to go downstairs for 5 or 50 minutes for drinks and talk.

That was my mistake at FUN 2020 where I stayed up the road at a cheaper place 3/4 mile away.

 

Only 69 days to go. I'll be staying at the Rosen Centre. It's a short walk to the show or there is a bus every 30 minutes.

 

Only 56 days to go.

 

Which hotel? I should probably try to go and always enjoy talking & drinking even if no coins are to ge found.

 

LD's reference.....Rosen Centre is apparently the hotel closestto the convention center. Probably a short walk over. Not sure if it's directly connected by an overpass or tunnel.

 

Thanks. I've just finally added a page to my website on Talers. Unfortunately, it only features 1 taler (Holy Roman Empire). I do own a 2nd Austrian taler but it's never been photographed.

I should try to make the FUN (Jan 4th) but I guess the NYICS is the place to go to look for a taler?

 

I’ll be there for the first two days. Can’t wait. Hope to meet some of you folks!

 

Only 41 days to go.
Dealer table numbers should be posted in about 2 weeks.

 

The event schedule has been posted but there may be some changes made before the show.

Looks like @Insider will be having a class on Saturday.
Noon-1:00 PM Educational Seminar. “Basic Coin Conservation,” by Skip Fazzari. Mr. Fazzari is an authenticator/grader at ICG Grading Service in Tampa. He’s also in charge of ICG’s coin conservation program. What’s actually involved in coin conservation? Which coins need conservation? Skip Fazzari has the answers! This program is “a must” for those looking to improve and/or protect their precious coin collection. Room N320E.

 

Cool. I hope folks will drop by. Great place to run into other CT members.

 

I've been to a couple of Insider's classes before, and they were some of the most educational hours of my coin life. If you have a chance to go, and you want to learn something, I *highly* recommend you attend.

Does anyone know if these will be recorded and posted somewhere for those of us who will not be attending?

 

This makes me think of the party a few years ago at the Rosen Centre bar. You gave a really cool grading lesson. Skip was also there. It was a great evening.

To make it more fun, at the end of the evening, someone walked up and paid the tab for the party. I can't remember the company that was.

 

Haha, yes, that was a fantastic evening, and completely unexpected. I believe it started as a PCGS forum member gathering, but a few of us crashed it after the NGC cocktail hour.

Stacks Bowers.

 

Thanks, I did't see this announcement and I didn't write it either.

That cocktail party was a good one. It seems to m it only happened that one time although someone tried to do it agin the next year.

 

Still up in the air about going.....are both hotels equal-distant from the convention area ?
