Pac: The Winnipeg coin show will happen every/any time anyone wants to come into this city and talk coins....
I'll even hold a smallauction... My guess is that even after a few comp drinks the auction would be lively even if you were the only attendee.... LOL

Unfortunately ther is not a list available that I can find. Email Mike Souza at the Northshore Numismatic Society web site. he can probably give you the low down.

Just had a look on the north Shore Numismatic Society website and found a list of "friendly coin show dealers" right above the contact emails for anyone who might be interested.

I was at the last show and there about 6 coin dealers and 4 stamp/postcard dealers. The selection of coins was pretty poor.
The location is not convenient as there is little public transport in that area and parking is difficult.

And there you have it. Pretty much sums up the Vancouver coin market. Two hours down the freeway a show like this in Seattle at least 50 dealers and ACTION.

What's so special about dancing girls...and I'm not talking about the ones on coins. they are just dancing which is boring, What I would want is some girls that are willing to do that other thing... you know.  but there are kids at coin shows and when it comes down to it id rather have it like that. It sounds like I should visit the one in Seattle! |

Went today and bought some wholesale stuff from a couple of dealers. Very meagre turnout. Will say one thing ,beautiful setting for such a lousy location. The Nikkei Cultural Centre is pretty cool.

I was there for a couple hours and yes this isn't a huge show. It was better than last time though with a couple new sellers. I picked up a nice 1991 quarter, 2001P and 2007SP-65 pennies. Also bought a type 2 blank and a 1974 clipped penny. You are right pacificoin on a nice day like today its a great setting.
I missed the dancing girls.

I was there for an hour and a half, met a friend I hadnt seen in 10 years she's is into stamps. Went to Timmy's for coffee and when we got back they where mostly packing up. But I did buy 14 coins (2 of them errors).
I met and talked a while with a fellow who used to run his own mint, Lasqueti Mint, his name was 'Tolling' it was interesting.
It was a good setting and I enjoyed it.
