Check went out Priority Mail today so it's not just a maybe now. CCF will be at the FUN show in January. We will have TWO booths this time. A corner booth with an adjacent straight booth! If you want to help, click here.

Probably a dumb question, but does anyone know if the ancients selection is good at the FUN shows?

I'm there  To answer your question, I imagine with 600 dealers, the ancient pickins should be fairly decent

Florida would be one of the place I really like to go, I have my co-worker who retired down there.

Thanks vermontensium. Because that is pretty much all I collect (more specifically, Roman imperial) and I might go as long as work and college don't get in the way (its only a 3 hour drive north from where I live). And would be pretty cool meeting any CCF'ers there.

I might be able to talk my Dad into this one... I know he likes to go to a beach at the start of winter!

Great news Bobby and Susan ... I know you must have learned a lot from the Philly ANA show ... and will without doubt apply those lessons to the FUN show. Not sure I can make it ... but I extend in advance my best wishes to both of you and hope for a successful repeat.  David

It's only 2 hours from me so I will probably be there barring any unforeseen circumstances. Yay!

What exactly goes on at a coin show? Bit of a noob, here.

Lots of "show and tell", coins/paper money being bought and sold, Third Party Graders are normally present to give advice and take submissions, and door prizes. An overall great time to be had!  Not much closer than Philly;  OKC - MCO 1,296 mi, 21 hours 38 minsOKC - PHL 1,388 mi, 23 hours 21 mins
