I just realized I was off on the days because I was using the Mayan Calendar..according to this calendar, on the week of January 7, 2013 it states:
"This years FUN Show in Florida will be cancelled due to the end of times. All numismatic and intrinsic sliver/gold coins should not be taken elsewhere. If your unsure whether this message applies to you, please see Greg and his calendar. It might direct you otherwise."
now I get it...
enjoy the show lads

Greg directed us to the landing zone, to deliver our gold and silver to the sky gods.

Good news! Greg told me personally that the sky gods are landing in my back yard!

My local coin dealer picked up a 1915 S MS64BN in pcgs plastic cage for me. One of the last few to complete my set.

I spent the previous three days at FUN, roaming the aisles for bargains. It's the largest FUN show ever; this, considering the number of dealers present and likely the attendance as well. As usual, I found dealer response mixed with regard to sales, but only a few were bemoaning their sales of higher-priced material. Interestingly, I heard that a hobo nickel sold at auction for $24,000! Some lucky "bum" must be grinning over this development.

I ended up going to FUN on Thursday w/ a group from our central FL coin club. As ExoGuy said, this year's show had the most dealers ever. Was a big crowd there also. I was specifically looking for Civil War & merchant tokens and ended up buying 4 really nice examples to add to my collection. One was an ex J Dettinger example  . I stopped by the CCF booth and met Vermontensium, Bobby131313, Sue (can't remember her log-on name) & SuperDave. It was nice to be able to put the faces to the names... They are all REALLY nice people.  In a hobby dominated by older collectors, it is definitely nice to see some younger collectors devoted to furthering the hobby! Keep up the good work guys. |

Eagerly anticipating the results! (I'm sorry I couldn't make it this year. I REALLY tried. Next year for sure!)
