I have my hotel reservation to stay in the Orlando area so I can attend the Fun Show on Friday and Saturday this coming weekend. Is anyone else attending or is there anything special I should look out for while I'm there? I'm really excited. I haven't attended a big show in a couple of decades, no kidding.

Was hoping I could go (I live 3 hours south of Orlando), but any money I would have spent went to my Theodahad so its a no-go for me. Hopefully next year.

Better save your money to get some coins. lol
I haven't ever been to a coin show and I won't make this one either, unfortunately.

Sounds great, I am a little jealous. One day I will have to find a good looking one and travel to it, since I doubt all those vendors are going to schlepp all the way to Anchorage, where the only coin shop just became an artisan cheese shop. Happy hunting, hope you find some steals!

It would be cool to get to Florida in the winter and meet a few CCF'ers--but I already spent so much traveling for Christmas.  It would be awesome to get to a big show--most shows here have no more than a dozen tables--I can only imagine the cherrypicking opportunities.  Edited by DVCollector

Yeah, same here DVC. All the local shows have perhaps a dozen tables, and all those dealing in modern coins.

Look forward to meeting you :)

The New York International is this coming weekend, Jan. 10-13, 2013. The big dealers will all be there. It is by far the biggest show for ancient coins.

When a coin show schedules itself at the same time as one of the really big shows, they are saying they don't want the big dealers or realize that they will not attract the big dealers anyway. Since I rarely have the money to buy from the big dealers anyway, this might even be considered an advantage.

I generally can't afford the big dealers anyway.

Bing, it's good that you'll be there two days. It's a huge show. As vermontensium said, there'll be a ton of dealers and whatever numismatic-related you may be looking for. I'm looking forward to meeting the staff on Thursday when I'll be going.
