<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 25399592, member: 4626"]The Denver Coin Expo (which happens twice a year, usually in May and October) sends postcard invitations to the expo; the postcard is effectively also a coupon for 2 free coin submissions to ANACS, only good if you bring them in person to their table at the event.

Also the coins you're getting the free service on can't have a value of more than $500 per coin.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this deal is exclusive to this specific coin show, since it's geographically closer to their main office than any other recurring coin show of significant size (their main office is in Centennial, CO, basically in the Denver suburbs).</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes I attend this show just for the sake of the free submissions lol, even paying attendance into the show and the parking fee still makes the savings worth it. Usually want to at least get <i>something</i> though: this year I also purchased a nice 1951-S Franklin half dollar to upgrade the Franklin half dollar spot in my type set. A big part of why I like going to these shows outside of shopping is just being able to find people interested in coins to talk to outside of a store; while the vendors are obviously trying to sell stuff too, there seems to be a lot less sales pressure and more tolerance of just "talking shop" about coins in general.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
