For those of you Southlanders who have never been to the LONGBEACH Coin Show, the one coming September 18-21 could be a nice start.
The normal admission price is $6 for the 4 days, but if you show your club membership card, you can get in for $4.
If I remember right, this session will have one of the famous 1913-D nickels and a 1794 Silver Dollar prototype on display in California for the first time.
There's always some dealers with casino collectibles, so maybe you might discover something for your collections.
They are at www.longbeachshow.com
