As I said earlier I've never been to a show, TO will b my first experience. I'm working on getting at least one coin from all active currencies, but I also collect dead currency. I'm not choosy what the coin is or what it's grade is. I'm hoping to increase my currency list. I've been reading about junk boxes that some dealers have, I've been advised to bring a light, my magnifying glass & my list. Anything else I need to bring, or I could bring that would make my first visit more productive

Other than that, you look set. Just enjoy it. I haven't met many of the people from the CCF that usually go, but I plan on doing so this year. In the past I've been more on a mission of finding coins, but it's not all about that. As for junk boxes, you'll find plenty of that at the expo |

I hope if everyone shows up in red shirts (and you should), someone will take a photo! I'll have to join chadcoins with my shirt in front of my computer too. There are a lot of very interesting auction lots.
