Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

I should make it Thursday or Friday.

I got a free program in Coin World magazine and it might be fun.

I'm on the Board so I figured I should show up, right?

I wasn't intending to - but I MIGHT - don't have any cash for buying - but it might be fun to look around...........

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm............

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

I'll won't make it but found this article (from that link that hernando posted, Coin Update News) about a gold shipwreck display that will be there. I wish I could go just to see this display.

"There also will be one of the 13 recovered octagonal $50 gold pieces produced by the United States Assay Office of San Francisco"


“Ship of Gold” on Display at Long Beach Expo

I may be there Friday. I'd like to see the shipwreck gold, it will remind me of what I lost in my accident at sea.:bear_cry:

COUPONS print them....


I have the audio the picture book and the NON-FICTON

"SHIP of GOLD" book...

Sadly, it's in the GROOVE because I have written a couple of Historical Novels about Los Angeles in 1853/1857.

So it's like a stinkin' magnet!

Ah, heck, I was PLANNING to put the LEAN on YA - so I could buy, say, ten more UHRs?

:signs14::111:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Now THAT would be something to go look at - dry powder or not!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

:ok:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

If you went, which day would you go??

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

A GIM'er has a booth at 741 - I believe.

Friday early - 2/5/2010 around 10 to 11 a.m. stay a few hours and blast back to San Diego Co.

Just love that Friday traffic. :thumpdown

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Don't know if I want to make that commute either. Just bought 2 GAE's online and plus my other dry powder just got wet from this storm that rolled through in the last hour. :wink:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

EARLY????

I have HEARD this word...........


As I understand the term, it means I still haven't gone to bed!



:biggrin:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Thanx HS

..but My booth is actually #731 / Victorybullion

GIM round @ spot!
3 per person max

....come by an say hi

early thurs is good because you have first crack at any deals. But sat afternoon is also good for hustlin some deals on dealers that didnt do to well.

If your looking for anything particular let me know & I will steer you in the right direction.

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Might sneak in early like on Thursday, however....

HS:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Looks like I might make this one on Friday - early afternoonish......

:ARMS1:

:signs14:Sorry for the :36_1_30: (:thumb.aspx:)

What I really meant was :5_1_120:

I tootle over early on Thursday to miss the traffic home on Friday.

That CENTRAL AMERICAN "Ship of GOLD 1857" exhibit will really bring them in this year. Last time was 5 years ago - I believe.

HS


P.S.= I'll bring you a novel. I'd give one to Master_Ho HO HO :504:
If he'd show UP "early" on Thursday.

As old John Wayne would say, "That'll be the DAY!" (The Searchers)

Tell him to stop by BOOTH 731 - I'll leave him a "surprise so he could dig for it...:headsand:" GOD be willing.

HS

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Ho goes to bed "early" (like 4am).........so early Thursday is HIGHLY unlikely!!!

But a small group here thinks we should go - so Friday early afternoon looks like the best time for us!

And I really want to see this exhibit.......

:wink:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

We all have have our time in the sun. King SOLOMON and Master Ho, right?

The EXHIBIT is grand. I have a 1857-S $20 slabbed PCGS - maybe I FONDLE
it tonight.

:coolbeer:

Yin(g)-Yang - taking Tai Chi Wu class tonight.

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

I am more like Dracula - I tend to stick to nighttime and leave the sun to others! *lol*

I have certainly read about it over the years - truly excited to see it.........

Cheers!

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Come on metals keep runnin!

Long beach will be rockin if metals keep this train going!
:getdown:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Its official - I will be there Saturday (with wife, friends but no killer-parrot!)........and so looking forward to the exhibit...........

And while I really do not have any dry powder, I do have a couple of bullion gold coins I might exchange if something interesting shows up!!! (Consider that a hint, booth 731 *w*)

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

It's been about 5 years since they did the CENTRAL AMERICA SHIP OF TONS OF GOLD EXHIBIT - so the place could be a minor ZOO on Saturday.

I'll be-BOP over Thursday A.M. early like when they open for the REGULAR visitors that is. :36_1_34: It's that 90 miles back HOME :36_1_34: that really bothers me. :signs14:

Interesting about that way to exchange bullion - grand idea. I was thinking about taking 10 bars around in one hand and ten bars around in the other.

About 68 1/2 pounds per arm. I'll l@@K like Arnie when I'm in the place.

The YOUNG guy not the OLD one - :504:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

CORRECTION - FRIDAY AFTERNOON!!


Sorry for the confusion - there's more than me going!

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?

i looked at the show program, they have the exhibit of some shipwreck with a bunch of gold. "Ship of Gold" they call it.

but the gold is hidden behind a glass window !

what's wrong, don't they trust people ? :elefant:

the USS Central America - is that the same boat that was written about in Gary Kinder's book, "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea ?"

a great book about the recovery effort, building custom submarines to get the gold, plus playing cat and mouse games with other treasure hunters to not "show their cards".

when they drag the ocean bottom hunting for a wreck (using video), it means a small flotilla of boats, which attracts attention. "oh no, we're not doing anything. that $1.5 billion of '49er gold ? it's just a pre-Internet rumor."

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

I have the audio book, the non-fiction book, and the large picture book, plus a small MOMENTO from part of the gold; a $50 gold piece dated 1855 and weighs about 2.5 ounces. Kind of a fun little thing...:yes:

HS

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

did they have an auction ? i don't remember all the details in the book about how they sold the bounty.

pics ?

Place was Rockin... I was swamped all day sat...Good to see the public out an about buying the dips.

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

Sorry I missed seeing you - the FLU with both of us (me and the DW) messed us up Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

I finally got out today for a couple of miles.

Like they say, there's a better day coming tomorrow...

Glad you did well...

steve:yes:

P.S. I protected you from a doubled sided HELL on both ends...

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

And great to meet you too, and see your display (only lunars I saw all day). I said in my email to you - I truly appreciate the time you took with me and my little group of gawkers, especially in a convention setting. No doubt, with you being local, we will meet again!!

Cheers!

:ok:

Re: Who's going to Long Beach? 2-4 to 2-6-2010?
 

I DID ask - so sorry you mised it and we missed you!!!!!

Just as well......it wasn't as big a display was we expected - apparently it shrunk in the wash!!!!!




Or had been sold at about $25,000 an ounce to collectors! *ouch*

Get wel!!!
