So who's going? I'll be bringing some banknotes, "irregular" off-centre toonies, copper rolls, BU quarters (colorized and not), BU loonies and toonies, and any other material like world coins that people may want to trade. Just ask 'cause I might have it - nothing high-end, just fun stuff! ...And a loupe, of course! I'm looking for mainly Swiss Francs pre-1968 and Mexican coins. I may only have time to go on Saturday. I heard good things about the last show so I'm expecting this one to be even bigger. ...And now for a dancing chili pepper:  |

I'm going!  I'm bringing some 1967 British Halfcrowns (somehow I have gotten 9), some of my Mexican doubles, a 1967 dollar and a 1960's nickel dollar (can't remember the year). I'm looking for anything unusual or interesting for my collection. Also, I'm looking for a Mark Antony Legionairy Denarius, an ancient Greek coin and an Ike dollar. This will be my first coin fair!    Edited by Windchild

Portland OR for me this coming weekend PNNA show 110 dealers and NO Canadians! Can you say cleanup? Much better for me than Toronto and way cheaper!

I never made it to the last Coin Expo, so I am hoping I will be there this time.

Question for all coin show veterans.
If I can only attend one coin show this fall, either the Toronto Coin Expo (sept 29) or Nuphilex in Montreal (nov 3), which would be the better show to go to?
I live in Kingston which is in the middle (travel time) between both shows so I would like to attend the better of the two.
Thanks

As a collector and a place to hunt coins, Nuphilex was my favourite show, but, a lot more Canadian collectors congregate at the Toronto show. So, I would pick Toronto because for me, it is less about the coins, and more about having a few beers and good conversations with my collecting friends... Cherry-pickers love Nuphilex... hard-to-find coins and top grades are in Toronto.... everyone has their own personal criteria...

That was my mistake last year, I assumed that the show would be Saturday and Sunday (Like Torex).

From the website, there is an auction at 6 pm (with viewing starting at 10 am) both Thursday and Friday. Never been to this show or the auction so I know nothing about them other than what I read here: http://www.torontocoinexpo.ca/ |
