The Chicago area has too many coin shows. A nice problem to have.

Is there any database for all the coin shows in the Chicago area?

Unfortunately no this is not a complete listing. Oddly enough the Countryside, Il. show, every 2nd Sunday of every Month, is never mentioned in most such listings.
And yes there are some occasional ones like the one at Rosemont and Tinley park. And another one in there somewhere but can't remember that one. The Countryside show has from 80 to 100 dealers every Month. And in December, it is a 2 day show.

Almost true. However, since many dealers are repeats, we get the ability to actually have a dealer look for certain coins. And then too, since they know they'll see you again, unlike big shows, they will usually give you a better deal.

Just Carl, you are correct, not a complete listing, never intended it to be. Not all shows are listed because it is up to the show sponsor to get it listed there (I believe). I found the Tinley Park shows via that link, which is why I provided it. The Chicago area does host a lot of shows and it's a great thing and you are correct, same dealers show up most of the time and are a great source if you're looking for something specific!
