Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2478 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 2:27 pm Canadian here planning on going to the US sometime in 2025, and looking for coin show recommendations. I'm looking for new experiences outside Canada--apparently what we call big shows here (50 dealers), Americans would consider small! Anywhere in the US, unless they are very small or very local shows. Preferably shows where there would potentially be some Canadian goodies for me to shop for. But if not, I can still meet new people, attend talks, see cool stuff I won't ever see here. I've seen coinzip.com and coinshows.com mentioned for show listings. Are they complete? If not, are there any other websites that aggregate coin shows? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

I would not call it large, but it is not that small either. http://www.upstatesccoinshow.com Coin Collector Since 1978 My Avatar My Old Avatar My 7070 My Eisenhower Dollars CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5180 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 4:22 pm With the CAD at 1.43 to 1.46 you will not be buying many Canadian numismatic treasures at US coin shows . Your expenses will also be an issue . That said , if you want to go and see the unbelievable difference in the CAN to US shows you will be amazed ! My take , find a venue with about a 100 table two day show not too far away from you and stay a night . You will have fun ! Coming back home make sure to declare what you bought .

jbuck Moderator United States 164101 Posts	Posted 01/07/2025 10:57 am I got an email and posted another coin show down here. Coming up sooner than the one closer to me. http://goccf.com/t/474987 Close to the coast, so maybe more appealing.

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2478 Posts	Posted 01/07/2025 3:18 pm No exact plans yet on where and when I'd be going, it's just going to be sometime later in the year. But it would be very nice to have it coincide with some show for the experience. Yeah, the exchange rate is going to kill me if I'm buying anything substantial. I'll need to research the customs stuff a bit - didn't think of that. If looking purely at distance, I'm relatively close to Buffalo, NY. Someone that I met at a coin show up here invited me to go to one of the BNA shows. Their monthly show has 50 tables, not as large as multi-day shows... But whoa, a monthly, not a yearly coin show of that size? jbuck - for a Canadian, those shows are large! I have a conflict with the January 31 show, and I don't know yet if I have a conflict with the other, but I'll write it down for now. Report this Post to the Staff

Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 958 Posts	Posted 01/10/2025 10:37 am There are lots to choose from in the US. FUN in Orlando is happening right now. It's the biggest. There is also a summer FUN in July. It's not as big, but still very big compared to Canadian standards. There's also the National Money Show (Atlanta end of Feb) and World's Fair of Money (Oklahoma City in Aug) that are put on by the ANA. There are various other presentations and activities at these shows, if that is of interest. The WFoM is larger. Also a number of large regional shows such as Central States (Schaumburg, IL in Apr) and PAN (Monroeville, PA in May). Plus others. Report this Post to the Staff
drdn Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 01/10/2025 6:07 pm Depending on where you are in Canada, there are also some larger regional shows you can visit. Michigan State Numismatic Society has a nice show just over the border in Detroit. Part my answer depends also on what you like to collect. Certain shows have are better for different types of collectors. If you are more interested in World/European coinage the NY show (NYINC) is a better fit but if you want a mix of US and others FUN, central states and ANA shows are more in that line.
