The Philly show was WAY beyond our expectations. We haven't had so much fun in a long time. We gave out well over 20,000 coins and 500 coin folders to the kids.  We cannot thank everyone that contributed enough. We put so many smiles on kid's faces it was overwhelming. Happy Dances galore. Can't tell you how exciting it is to literally see a kid jump up and down because they're so excited about their free stuff. A very special thanks to Dave & Jette (Mr. and Mrs. Vermontensium), Richard & Leah (Mr. and Mrs. NoHope587), Dave (SsuperDdave), Mike and Carol (Mr. and Mrs. McShilling) and Billy (Yankee1227) for helping out at the tables and rounding up kids. |

This seems to be quite the opposite of the old saying that "education is expensive". Being able to share the wealth of education is like planting seeds for the next generation of numismatists. Looking forward to being able to attend one of the these events a little closer to home!  Edited by oih82w8

Just wanted to post a thank-you to those who made the free coins for kids a possibility. My son couldn't make it to the show with me (soccer camp) but the person manning the booth allowed me to take a package of coins for him, he was psyched to still get something!!

Amazing, that place is HUGE compared to OZ
I wish I could have been there so jealous
So cool you have banners on the roof and everything, and the free stuff for kids is soooooooooo cute.
Everything is so well set out and presented, nice light open space too.
Ahh I could have been lost in there for days and been happy

Actually, the open space was only for the last day. Among the many things that we learned is that a corner booth alone is just too small. We have reserved a corner booth plus an adjacent single booth for F.U.N.I hope we see more of you there. We're hoping that this is just the beginning to doing a show approximately every six months. With any luck, maybe we will even find a way to do one "across the pond" one day!  |

Great pictures bobby & nohope. Thank you all for sharing. It's great to see youngsters taking an interest in our beloved hobby. Side note, that young lad looks to have a triplet in his hand and cherry picking some Morgan VAMs?  |
