World Coins At Fun Show

I have never visited Winter FUN, but have attended Summer FUN twice.
Yes, there were a few dealers selling world and some even ancient coins, about 20 % of the dealers in attendance I would say. However, I found their prices fairly high, so that any hopes of finding 'good deals' were quickly dashed. I did find one or two coins, but by and large I have found much better deals on world coins in my area of interest either at auction in both the US and EU, or at coin shows in EU.
I was a bit disappointed actually. You may have better luck at Winter FUN which is a larger show, I hear.

I have been to the Fun show before and I will be there again this year. Like any show there are some foreign but US coins are seen in far greater numbers. I know a few dealers who will be there that have decent material at reasonable prices.

If you are looking for under market bargains you are setting yourself up to buy fakes. Most of the lower priced "bargain coins" are where I hunt for counterfeits. I have gotten some very good counterfeits at the FUN show as well.

With this number of dealers (several hundred) almost everyone can find something. It is also the benefit of seeing dealers to see what sells and to look at large inventories EVEN if some are overpriced.

Unless you will break the bank getting there - I would recommend the show for everyone interested in coins.

Plonker - From my understanding the FUN show is mostly US. The NY Show runs at the same time and is all World/Ancient. All depends what you are looking for. I collect world crowns in higher grades (slabbed) - no bargains unless you do the legwork yourself in Europe and buy raw or have someone look for you. Send me a PM if you seek more guidance.
