I found some great coins for my buyers and made good money on those deals.

The show was at a fancy big hotel in downtown Boston. It sticks in my mind that it was a Hilton, but I could be wrong on that.


The Bay State Coin Show used to be held twice a year in March and Nov. Before the show moved out to Marlboro (in 2012), it was held at the Radisson Hotel on Stuart Street in Bay Village near Charles Street and the Theatre District. That hotel is now called The Revere, and the show was cut from 2x a year to 1x.

Having said all that, it's possible the show was at a diff hotel when you were there. Do you remember what year?

Update: I searched the forum and found a post from 2008 that confirms my memory:

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 14th 10am - 7pm
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 15th 10am - 7pm
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 16th 10:30am - 3pm

RADISSON HOTEL
Sixth Floor Convention Hall
200 Stuart Street, Park Square
(Massachusetts Turnpike, exit 22)
Boston, Massachusetts

$6 ADMISSION CHARGE
$3 ADMISSION CHARGE ON SUNDAY


PS: admission is up to $12 now, but if it were still held in Boston - where convention rooms are very pricey - I bet admission would be $30 or 40, which is a nonstarter for many collectors.

I believe the admission fee was $10 last time. I hope they won't keep increasing the fee, otherwise more and more people might decide to stay home. After all, there are many local, smaller coin shows that do not charge any admission fees.
