Petar_rc13 Posted May 31, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hello! I was wondering if anyone is going to the world coin fair in Rosemont this summer? If so what are your goals and what are your thoughts on the subject in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restitutor Posted August 12, 2022 · Administrator Share Posted August 12, 2022 Bumping this thread back up as the date is nearing and got a reminder from CNG! Debating going myself, have never been to a coin show before and this one is close by. Anyone going? Classical Numismatic Group will be attending the ANA World's Fair of Money from 16-20 August at the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center, 5555 N. River Road, Rosemont (Chicago), IL. Visit us at tables 1425 and 1427, in the Ancients section. We will have with us our regular show inventory, as well as the Summer 2022 Classical Numismatic Review, with exclusive availability to show attendees on Tuesday, 16 August before its general release online at 7 PM EST. Keystone 8, featuring Ptolemaic and Byzantine coinage from the Ken Bressett Collection, the Gasvoda Collection of Canadian Large Cents, and the RH Collection of Canadian Blacksmith & Related Tokens will be available for lot viewing. We are currently soliciting consignments for our flagship Triton auction, to be held live at the New York International Numismatic Convention on 10-11 January 2023. The occasion will be even more special as two members of our London staff, David Guest and Paul Hill, will be on hand at the ANA for the first time in three years. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romancollector Posted August 13, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I will be attending on Friday, Aug 19th. I wish that I could be there on an earlier day, but I had to accommodate my work schedule.

Benefactor Phil Davis Posted August 13, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted August 13, 2022 HJB will be there of course, with most of our stock since it's local and we don't have to deal with shipping coins or hand-carrying them on a plane. I'll be at the table Wednesday for sure; maybe Friday also, although Rosemount is a dreadful place and I hate schlepping out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago! I won't be able to attend, but if you've never been to a coin show before , you really ought to try to attend. There is nothing like the excitement and energy of a show, especially the ANA and the NY international. I doubt you would be disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from friends it’s gotten nicer over the years and they have a pretty good mall with indoor skydiving 🤯 What times we live in! Probably won’t be able to get up until Friday, much like @Romancollector, work prohibits an earlier arrival. Will most of the vendors/dealers still be there on Friday? I recall reading in a post a few years ago that most of the “action” at coin shows happens on the first day. Not sure if that means the booths thin out over the days or not. Hopefully not! Thinking this will be a good opportunity to help spread the word further about our site, so going to do my best to get there for Friday! Will likely be in a Numis Forums t shirt assuming I can get one made in time 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always stop by the HJB table at NYINC when I'm there, of course. I admit that when I saw the thread title I had no idea where Rosemont was, let alone that it was in (near?) Chicago. Despite the fact that my son went to the U. of Chicago as an undergraduate and I visited him a number of times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's hard to believe but I've been associated with HJB for over 20 years; mostly but not totally retired these days. And yeah, Rosemont is a burb, actual population maybe 12. It's possible I'm exaggerating a bit, lol, but it's not a place people live. It's just one giant mass of convention centers, arenas and hotels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Aaron Berk was there this year, but it was somebody else in January 2020, right before the pandemic. I remember spending quite a long time there that year going through just about everything, and bought a couple of Roman Republican coins if I recall correctly. Little did I know it was going to be my last chance to go to a coin show for a couple of years. Edited August 13, 2022 by DonnaML 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely at the table a fair amount, but not all the time. If it wasn't Aaron or Harlan you saw, it almost certainly was me.
