If you can’t find what you want at your local coin supply store, coin collecting shows can be a great opportunity to seek out rare coins and meet fellow collectors. There are coin collecting shows all over the United States, from major conventions to little local shows run by coin collecting clubs.

A Calendar of Major Coin Collecting Shows

January sees the Knoxville Coin Show in Tennessee, the biggest one day coin collecting show in the South. Admission is free. The Akron Coin Show, also in January and monthly thereafter, covers the whole tri-state area (Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia) and is an essential venue for collecting gold and silver coins and bullion.

Coin collecting shops with a physical presence are few and far between. Unless they are lucky enough to live in a major town with a coin supply store or could come across a rare find in a pawnbrokers, numismatists were once confined to either waiting for their local coin club to put on a coin collecting show or traveling to the big city. The Internet has changed all this, and several coin collecting shops now have online presences. In this article, we will look at a few of the biggest.
