Coinbuf Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Neither for me. The costs to fly across country coupled with the hotel and food costs would leave nothing to spend on coins so no point in going for me.

Strictly off the record, my wife, who calls the shots, says due to the "agreement" and "contract" I signed (marriage license) she is obligated to accompany me everywhere. Bearing that in mind, I don't need to spend a few days at NYINC. I believe I can knock out the whole shebang in a few hours: "Any Roosters?... Anyway Roosters? (I will carry my favorite encapsulated example and produce it discreetly like an FBI agent.) No refreshments. On the move methodically reviewing the displays. A strictly in-and-out affair. All business. 🐓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Colonial Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 No, but if I move to central FL as I might early next year, I might consider it later if I can free up the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcpix Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I'm taking the grading class, then spending a couple days trying out my new skill set at FUN. And it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have it on mediocre authority that FUN is also having a new class this year: "Sexing Iguanas When They Fall on Your Head." This now goes with the new class last year - which was postponed - called "Iguanas: Kebabs or Nuggets?" Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you moving to in central Florida? I lived in that area for a few years. Have a house down there I’m thinking of selling after the new year. May have a house for you 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star City Homer Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I dearly want to go to NYINC this year. Sadly I apparently agreed to a different trip the same weekend. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldFinger1969 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 My health has been a problem lately so I may just do NYINC this year. I live in the NY area but really was hoping to do FUN after meeting lots of NGC and CT friends at FUN 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKurtB Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I have promised to judge exhibits at FUN this year, and NYC will still be run by people of questionable intelligence and morals at that time, so no NYINC this year, and perhaps never again, for me. I have a serious hankering for a European coin show trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hurt myself pretty bad and not sure if they can screw my bones back together in time for FUN. Can't even get a surgery date. I'm booked for Fun but still have time to cancel if needed. If I cancel a week before, it won't cost much. Not what I had planed for the new year. GoldFinger1969, Star City Homer and Coinbuf 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been finding with all the restrictions being placed on just about everything - if I need some non-emergency, but needed care, my local vet is a good bet.

If you’re asking about the show, both the bourse and the educational programs are EXCEPTIONALLY well run. I BELIEVE the Chair of educational programs is still both a great personal friend and the current ANA Farman Zerbe award, Kerry Wetterstrom. The City at large is a cruel joke at this point in time.

If you flew in with one without the requisite NYC pistol permit, you would be the one arrested and turned over to federal authorities. Go figure. First, I would never fly in. Two choices: 1) Amtrak, or 2) Drive into the parking lot in Weehawken and take the ferry into Manhattan. But yes, any place that won’t honor my concealed carry permit is a place I would never want to be. Even making an exception for summer ANA shows in Illinois is ONLY something I’ll do because the show isn’t in the center of the City of Chicago. Anyone who hasn’t tried the NY Waterway to get into Manhattan hasn’t properly lived yet. Civilized. And they are the folks who plucked Sully’s passengers off the wings of the airliner in the Hudson, too.
