Anyone Going To The 2024 Fun Show In Orlando, FL?

jbuck, you need to make the trip. HUGE show, and lots of non-US coins. It's quite affordable compared to some other big shows. I've been to several FUN and summer FUN shows, they never disappoint.

This year however, I'm going to the NY International Numismatic Convention for the first time instead of FUN. Going to a show and not having to see a single Morgan dollar much less display cases full of them sounds like a dream come true.

I've never been to a coin show but live near the FUN one in Orlando. I've inherited a collection and am just starting to learn.

It sounds like these shows are mostly to buy / sell, is that correct? Are there any opportunities to learn about the basics there?

Thanks, glad to be here!

I was just at the show today. It's HUGE. Signage is a problem though as it took me 45 minutes to even find the entrance, walking through endless amounts of empty exhibition buildings and spaces.
But overall a good visit, as I bought a couple of banknotes, some world coins, and a nice half-Ducaton.

Yeah, if you're new to the OCCC, it's HUGE. The FUN website will tell you which location the show is in. I made that mistake the first time I went, my Uber dropped my off at the main OCCC entrance. :)

And I want details on that half Ducaton!

Nice haul! Love the half ducaton.

Nice haul NumisEd.

I got one of the "secret" medallions that FUN produces for the show each year. I didn't even know these existed last year, until I saw one months later. This year after the crowd had died down at the registration booth, I went back and asked where I could get one. The lady quietly pulled one out from behind the counter and handed it to me.

Each year there is a theme. This year the theme was on the next generation of numismatists, so there was a large youth area with various activities in addition to the kids coin trivia.
