I know that I'm only 15 but I would be willing to donate any time to be working the table. Would that be allowed?

I can't wait! I too would like to work the table if possible, and will be selling as well. CCF NUMISMATICS - ;-) I will have a few coins for mom and dad to sell, proceeds from that will go to the CCF :-)

You might not be allowed behind the table, but gophers are always needed.

Fredd, not sure what you mean by gophers, can you explain a bit?

We are allowed a total of 3 employees manning the table. Anything over that costs an additional $50 per person. I'm going to call Emily on Monday and double check that, but that's what it states on the website. At this point, Bobby, Dave, and myself will be at the table, with one more allowed at no charge. I hope that more are permitted since we got a corner table. I'll let you all know what I find out. Yankee, if it's possible, you will certainly be welcome to work the table. I'll check on this. According to the website, there is no additional charge for spouse and one child, except for ANA membership. I'm going to see if you can qualify under that heading even though you are not my child. I'll see what Emily says.

If you act as a general gopher for dealers, you can make enough in tips to go home with a free coin or three.

And fredd, I've heard of this, how do I become a "gopher"? I think that would be fun too.

Be prepared for a total sensory overload. It's like this - imagine browsing your local coin shop. Then imagine that coin shop being one open space the size of two Home Depots put together - this venue is 225,000sq ft - and it's all coins. You will feel (rightly) that it isn't possible to see it all in a month. Bring Advil - it may be an initially painful experience.

One thing coin dealers are good at is eating, even at the ridiculous show prices. When you just paid twenty bucks for a couple burgers and cokes, what's a few bucks to the gopher?
