VKurtB Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) If I am not careful, with a schedule like this, I'll run out of funds before I run out of fun. I'm going to be shopping for very specific pieces to enhance my next idea for a competitive exhibit, which is NOTHING LIKE a registry set, by the way. I can do my exhibit with what I have now, but I need to increase my "condition" score potential. I'll be mounting that exhibit at the February Atlanta show. Several other pieces that were "raw" are now at NGC for certification and grading. Edited August 21, 2019 by VKurtB KarenHolcomb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawtomatic Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Lucky. You've got a lot of shows over there in PA. I was planning on cruising up to a show in Sherman this weekend to see what the scene's like. But my Cooper's in the shop getting a new engine and may or may not be ready by then. We'll see, I might just get a rental because a whole weekend without a car may be boring. But then I'd probably get around to getting that submission together that I keep putting off...

Marquez-Collector Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I was actually thinking of driving to Sacramento this weekend to see some family (Mom) . I could stop by. The South Bay / Sunnyvale Coin Show is really close to me and I may plan tha one better. It is in November so I have time to prepare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be at any of those, but I will probably make the Vicksburg, MS show in September, and I will definitely be at the MNA show in Biloxi on May 1st next year. I picked up four nice tokens at the last one, and I am hoping to score a few more this next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenHolcomb Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Once I get this house done, or even this year if we get approved for this HELOC, I would love to go to Gettysburg for a combined weekend of ghost hunting and the show there. Still have over 2 weeks left to see what can be. Fingers crossed for me please. Heck, if we couldn't get a room I'd be thrilled to camp out in the bed of the truck near a battlefield. They have that show twice a year, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKurtB Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 The trip to Lebanon on Saturday was successful. I picked up a few pieces for various projects, all non-US. Some Soviet for my son, some Swiss pieces for me (I'm into francs and 2 rappen) , an odd privately assembled commercial British "decimalization" set for an exhibit I'm working on, some pieces for another exhibit on the Mexican hyperinflation of the mid-1980's, that kind of stuff. Spent only $75, $80 with the some raffle tickets included. But I feel like I "got stuff done" with that modest amount of spending.

JKK Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Anyone coming to the WCC show in Portland (November 2-3)? Usually a pretty good one, especially for ancients. Plus, if you spring for early bird, you get to hand me your money. Not many people ever get to say that, you know (but it would be a nice trend).

I think the racetrack is up in North, which happily is pretty far from me (SW burbs). Anyone trying to get to Expo Center is likely to have a bad traffic experience. Coin show is over in East, though, when that comes along, and happily is one catticorner block from a Max (light rail) stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) I like the Expo center and your Max system. I had a blast at the March 2015 ANA show there. Never got to the downtown side of the river on that trip, but many years ago, I installed a photo lab across from the Federal courthouse. That was around 1980 or so.
