So I plan on going to the World's Fair of Money in Pittsburgh at the end of the month. Pretty flexible on which day(s) to go but I'm leaning towards the first full day on Wed 26th, so I don't miss out on any exclusive souvenirs.

1 - What show-only coins, medals, souvenirs, etc will be available there? I see I can pre-order the show medal from their website but will it also be available at the show?

2 - What will the US Mint be selling? The Constitution quarter should be out that day.

3 - Safest place to park?

4 - Do any CCF members have any kind of meet-ups?

5 - Any other advice and/or recommendations?

I am jealous! I was contemplating a road trip, but I do not think I will be able to swing it this time.

Its a road trip for me since I'm only a few hours away. May even be back home the same day depending on how long I'm at the show and what else I do in the city. A hotel stay is not out of the question though.

It would definitely be an overnight visit for me. I have not been to Pittsburgh since the summer of 2024, so I would want to hang out for a while.

I don't think that will happen! Unless you're looking for something very particular, it's hard to see everyone's table in one day, much less intensely browse through their offerings.

I did see the floor plan. How immense it is will probably hit me once I'm there.

I go to a show every year that has 150 dealers and it takes me two days.
