The date of what everybody tells me is Canada's largest coin show is fast approaching! I can hardly wait. Well, actually, that's an exaggeration - because at this point, my awesome 2-case mega-display looks like this:  But I'm sure it'll all work itself out somehow. If you want information that is actually relevant, it's all on the club's website: http://www.edmontoncoinclub.com/shows.htmWho else plans on coming?  |

I'll be there as a dealer. I've expanded to two tables for this show! Come see me: "Mattscoin"
It's definitely not Canada's largest show (TOREX or another show in eastern Canada has that honor). But I've heard from many collectors and dealers alike that it is the best one in western Canada.

Looks like a great show, wish I was closer. Actually billed as, "Canada's largest fall / winter numismatic event."

I'll be helping at the appraisal table on Sunday afternoon. It's a good way to stretch my numismatic abilities - sorting though stuff quickly and coming up with an estimate is skill that takes practice.

I'll be there Saturday morning walking around. I'm from the east coast, but will be out there visiting my son and taking in a few hockey games. Looking forward to it.

Is this bigger than the Calgary coin show? I'm feeling pretty excited!

Matt said "It's definitely not Canada's largest show (TOREX or another show in eastern Canada has that honor). But I've heard from many collectors and dealers alike that it is the best one in western Canada." It is biggest and even the Saskatoon show is larger than Torex.  |

I stand corrected! I've never been to TOREX, figured it would be bigger.
Either way, new/larger location for the Edmonton show this year will make it even bigger than previous years :)

Torex started losing steam 7-8 years ago when they moved from downtown to the airport. Then the Queen of Canadian numismatics died and her son took over. It's been downhill since then as Brian just doesn't have what it takes. We used to have 12-15 guys or more from the old CCRS site that met there every Torex, but we all quit going 4-5 years ago when we also all quit the CCRS site. Now, we in the T.O. area go to the CoinExpos that get better each time.

Coin Expo is probably one of the bigger shows in Canada (and most certainly my favourite), Nuphilex in Montreal is also quite large.
