THEN I headed back up to my room and, since I had been up since 4am to catch the early flight, I quickly fell right asleep! So I got dressed again, and met him for a quick drink back down at the bar. He had asked if I would put him on my table since he wanted to walk the show for a day, so I knew he was coming to the show, but thought he was arriving the next day. Right after I climbed into bed, I got a text from Rick Snow who had just arrived at the hotel.

The ANA had on display the famous 1913 Liberty Head Nickel and the 1804 DollarĪt 5pm, the dealers were treated to very tasty bbq brisket and beer at a restaurant located inside the convention hallĪfter the show, I checked into my hotel and hung out with several other dealers at the hotel bar for a a drink before retiring to my room to watch some tv.

This was the first coin I bought at the showįrank and Dawn of DEI (they are the Las Vegas show promoters) setting up their coins and beautiful jewelry Set up was from 11 am through 8pm so I enjoyed having plenty of time to set up my table, and peruse other dealer’s cases. It’s a very roomy facility but unfortunately is not within walking distance of any hotels, restaurants, shops, etc. The building is located in more of an industrial section outside of the city. I arrived at the National Western Complex and noticed the bold signage they had around the building, including a huge bold banner on the other side of the building facing the freeway. It was only a 2-hour flight, and soon we were flying over Colorado Once again, we flew out over the Newport Beach coast before turning and heading east. I left Orange County really early so I could arrive in time for set up on Thursday. Denver is a very beautiful city and I looked forward to seeing Denver again. Other than going through Denver on my way to the ANA Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs, the only other time I’d been to Denver was during the ANA National Money Show that was held in Denver a few years ago. This show has been going on for many years, but recently was taken over by two very enthusiastic show promoters who enhanced and expanded the show. The Denver Coin Expo was the third of three back-to-back shows I recently attended.
