Many thanks to the blogger who mentioned the FUN show. It made me think of all the good memories of a great show.

Oh, to be in Orlando, for the National Money Show! I traveled to many coin shows and conventions over the years. Every show was good and had lots to offer. A trip around the exhibit area is a great way to start. You could learn something new about a familiar series, be introduced to a new set, or see something in a different way. Exhibits featuring coin albums, the color of early coppers, and other items can show how collecting is not just filling holes in a book. Many collectors are creative.

One of the two known Paquet reverse double eagles will be on display at the FUN show next month. The question arose, is it worth a trip to a major show to see such a display? My answer is yes!
