"Great Time for Collecting" This is the theme for the 70th Annual FUN Convention in January. The FUN Board is lining up some new educational demonstrations for January. Timothy Grat will be giving Mini-Mint demonstartions. He intends to show the attendees of FUN the minting process from fabrication of the molten metal to a finished commerative medallettes for the show attendees, while demonstrating the entire minting process through history. Mr Grat is the operations manager for Landis Studios, formally known as the Gallery Mint. Randy Campbell has already lined up 11 Educational Seminars that will be presented Thursday through Saturday.

Have you ever wanted become to be a certified Exhibition Judge for a coin show. In January you will have that opportunity as Bret Irick has confirmed he will be teaching a Certification Class during the FUN show. Dates and time will be published on this site as soon as they are announced.

The U.S. Mint has informed us that they would like to attend the FUN show in January but at present they cannot confirm that attendance. This has become a common problem with them and usually its dependant upon their travel budget which gets renewed every October. Other invited and confirmed attendees are: Mike Bean and his Spider Press, Dennis Boggs as Abe Lincoln, Pat McBride as Benjamin Franklin, and Curt Radabaugh as George Washington. The Piedmont Gold Panners will be onsite teaching the tricks of the trade from the 19th century. Cindy Calhoun will be making elongated cents for the attending public and Sam Gelberd will helping out at the Coins & Kids booth and will be organizing the scavenger hunt for our junior collectors.
