Photos From the 2008 ANA World's Fair of Money in Baltimore

The 2008 ANA World's Fair of Money has been over for a little more than week now, but attendees are still buzzing about what a great show it was! Numerous dealers have reported that it was the best show they've done in years. Some claim it was their best-ever, including the U.S. Mint, which sold $543,000 worth of products.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend this year, thanks to a nasty and ill-timed bout of the flu, but I've been asking friends to share any photos they have from the event, and have started an ANA convention photo gallery to share them with you. If you have photos from this year's World's Fair of Money in Baltimore that you'd like to share, please send them to coins.guide@about.com. I'd especially like to get photos of the world Mint booths and any celebrities you happened to catch!

Although I'll be adding photos to the gallery over the next couple of weeks, current highlights include:

• The $12,650 Lunch Date
• The Ultra-High Relief Coin Plasters
• A Pile of 27 Lb. Gold Bars

If you were at the show, tell us about your great coin finds in the comments section below!
