The FUN show in Orlando was mind-blowing on a number of levels, mostly I guess because of the large scale - several hundred dealers from all around the world! Primarily of course they offered coins and paper currency, but there seemed to be lots of other items available as well - tokens, buttons, badges, jewelry, platinum, gold & silver bars, antique firearms, and even the occasional casino chip, token, or silver strike.

I spent an hour or two going through various bargain bins and came up with a few interesting souvenirs... here are some $1 U.S. proof coins featuring the first seven presidents: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson... the Statue of Liberty is the common reverse...

At another bargain bin I found a one-ounce copper round in the form of a gigantic Lincoln penny (39 mm)...
