Here is the front page story: http://www.newszap.com/articles/200...re/dsn04.txtThe show started slowly, but started to pick up steam within the first hour only to be cut short due to a storm that came through. We really only had about 3 hours. While I was quite disappointed, it made great news. Many children left with piles of coins, and all seemed to leave with smiles on their faces. CoinFest has garnered a lot of interest and hopefully will attract future sponsors. I will be emailing Susan and Bobby with many pics so everyone will see some of the highlights. I will also mail each of the forum sponsors a photo disc with all the photos soon. |

Only if I were in America!
I could be one of those could having a ball looking through magnificent coins.
I don't have any Key date American coins.
Where I live we never have numismatic conventions.
Well Done to you guys that helped with this.
It looked like a ball!
Are there any Asians on this committee or any below 19's?

And here finally (last and least) is a pic of me.  Buried on page 9 of the paper and printed in black and white, but me nonetheless. I am the one with the coin in hand.  |

Nope. I got many calls over the past two days about it, but no one has called about finding it. I have a group of coins left over, but I have no desire to look through them to find it.
I cannot promise that it is still in the mix, but the pile that I have currently will be with me in Indy next spring.
I better "see" all of you Hoosiers there.

Well, if you need someone to help look for it, I'm sure you could twist my arm! That is, if Terry and the other Hoosiers don't beat me to it! You're coming to Indy in the spring, huh? Hmmm, sounds like time for a road trip!  Rachel [:p] |

Can guarantee you US Hoosiers will never let you forget this spring trip! Looking forward to having you in the state and will eagerly look for your NEW shop in this area! Hey, I need a job you know and Kyra knows how to roll coins so you already have a staff and don't even know it!!!

Did I hear something about a FREE house? My hearing isn't quite as good as it was before attending all those Rush concerts. If anyone remembers check out this newspaper either Sunday or Monday. http://www.newszap.com/dover/I will be the highlighted "Meet your neighbor". I have not seen the final draft yet, but should be interesting reading. The pic provided is a bit old and 30 pounds ago, but an old pic is better than NO pic in the paper |
