The 2018 World's Fair of Money opens tomorrow. Wish I was there!
The ANA World's Fair of Money will begin in less than two weeks. The setting is Philadelphia, a city filled with history. I recall a trip there years ago. Besides the coin show, there was the Mint, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and of course, many good meals.
I did not attend this year's World's Fair of Money. Sorry to miss a major show and all it has to offer.
If a collector isn't inspired at the World's Fair of Money, where could they be? A few years ago, the WFM featured a display if the first double eagle, the unique 1849. Next to it was the famous 1933. There were the first and last issues of $20 gold.
The time is approaching! Another World's Fair of Money opens Tuesday. Wish I could be there, but I've been lucky enough to attend more than a dozen over the years.
I attended the last WFM in Denver. There was a long line as soon as I reached the convention center. The attraction was a display of the ten 1933 double eagles that had recently been discovered. Yes, I got a good, longing look at these beautiful coins. I took a pic. Before the weekend was over, I viewed them again.
