Mila_cent Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hello everyone! I went to my very FIRST Coin Show on Friday. Saw the 1987 Brasher Doubloon. WOW!

Guest Stujoe Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Good stuff! Going to shows is a lot of fun and you get to see a lot of coins that you would probably never see anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan769 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Nice buys, the Melbourne show is next Sunday, I'll see if I can get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggit Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Those are very nice, it seems there are never any coin shows around here. I don't want to go to a Canadian show anyway, I would rather go to a US show. However the only place near me is Sumas Washington and I don't think they will have one anytime soon.

mmarotta Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Let me add my voice to the general approval. According to Jim Halperin of Heritage, coin shows are still the crux of the hobby. http://www.numismedia.com/101/index15.shtml You might find this advice helpful http://www.tsns.org/butternut/butternut1.htm I wrote this: http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/best_time_attend.html Advice is helpful -- or not. Just go and have a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been to one either daggit, but they are having one in Richland Washinton in October, and I plan to make that one. They also have them in Spokane occasionally. \ I am looking forward to attending one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpnyc Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I also went to the NY Invitational on Friday. I wonder if we were there at the same time. Anyway, the Brasher Doubloon was just sweet and there was tons of other high end stuff to drool over. The show was a block away from my office and, although I would have liked to spend the day there, I was only able to get an hour's worth of coin viewing pleasure. I left the floor empty-handed. All was not lost though.... I did win 3 lots at the Heritage auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me or post here We probably just missed each other - I was there from around 11-12. The next show I know of is the NY International Numismatic Convention. Its usually held in January but the 2006 dates have not been posted yet. Below is a link to the website from the 2005 show. Its mostly world coins though. I wish we had something like FUN or Long Beach around here. NY International Numismatic Convention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
