Who's all going or already there? I went last year for the second time. What an amazing show. Won't make it this year but already making plans for 2024.

It is on my bucket list. Might have to wait until I retire though.  |

Well I will say it is way too easy to spend your money there. For those planning a trip I would advise saving up well beforehand.

I'll be there tomorrow morning and probably at least part of the afternoon. It's my first time and I'm looking forward to it!

Just thought I'd mention the 2023 FUN show is happening in Orlando, starting today, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023. Actually, there were some early events with different vendors over the last day or two but I'm not close enough to bee-bop on over easily. (I am headed there today so maybe I'll get some images to share so others that haven't gone before can see the scope of the show.) I think I read on some promo literature that there are 1500 sellers!  There is usually some nice displays set up and an informational/educational area as well. And of course, the auctions usually have some fantastic items on the block. 2023 FUN LINK - http://www.funtopics.com/fun-convention.html2023 FUN Auctions LINK- http://www.funtopics.com/fun-conven...eCoinAuction(Hope it's ok to add the links for those that are interested.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I just thought of searching for this post now. I've been here since Wednesday afternoon on setup day, setting up my exhibit ("A Unique Indian cent Registry Set"). I'm forced to stay until Sunday afternoon, as we are not allowed to break down exhibits until 12 noon on Sunday. From what I've heard, dealers all across the board are having a phenomenal show, both buying and selling. If anyone here is attending the show on Saturday or Sunday morning, I'd love to meet you. Just message me. Be aware that many/most dealers pack up early Saturday afternoon. Steve |

I'm going today 1/7, I went last year on the last day, and it seemed a little empty hopefully this year will be better.

How was the show this year? Lots of FUN?  I am hoping to go next year (2024). |

I was there for 7 hours last Thursday. From my perspective it was very well organized. They had a great scavenger hunt activity for young collectors that my daughter spent almost 2 hours on. I had a nice chat with many dealers and picked up a number of items on my U.S. want list. The show had about 95% U.S. coins and bullion. It would have been nice to see more dealers with British medals, but I guess I have to go to the UK for that. I wish I could have spent another day to take in some seminars and spend more time viewing the exhibits. Winesteven, I did see your "A Unique Indian cent Registry Set" - very impressive! |
