I spoke to Scott yesterday. Sounds like a small show with a focus on World and Ancients but after a year of no coin shows, I'd swim across the bay to see a clad dime right about now.

Enjoy!
The swim will be refreshing.
No, not until I've had my second shot in a few weeks. Have fun.
Thanks - I’m V2 + 10 so feeling my oats a bit.

Enjoy and let us know how the show goes.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Will do - pretty sure I'll spend more time driving to and from South San Francisco than at the actual show but count on a full report!
Looking forward to show reports. I will be at a gun show both days this weekend.... (Might even be a coin table there)....Cheers, RickO
Hey @ricko - can you pick me a few boxes of double 00 12 gauge shells? The cupboards are bare here in Kalifornia!
Tim
@pointfivezero.... Hi Tim, there will likely be some there...But you would be better off to order from TargetSports online...Cheers, RickO
Already back from SF Coin Show - Here is a quick update from my first show in over a year:
Location - South San Francisco Convention Center
Admission Fee - $5
Masks Required
Tables - 7
Opened - 10:00 AM (but they allowed me to enter at 9:55)
Most tables were world and ancient raw coins. I was on the lookout for old holders and bargains, of course. Been looking for a 1921 Morgan and Peace dollar and was able to fill half the bill.
Here are a few pictures:
That has to be the smallest coin show that I have ever seen!
Seven tables, wow

That was my thought as well.
Still a small show is better than no show. And it looks like there was a decent amount of people.
Congrats on finding half of the 1921 set @pointfivezero !
Thanks and my thoughts exactly. At one point there was actually a line to get in which meant there was a small huddle at every table. Hardly worth the 100 mile round trip except for experiencing a sense of normalcy returning to the coin world.
Next big show is in Sacramento June 5th and 6th. Much longer (and more expensive) report will follow.
Tim
LOL! The dealers should pay the customers to come!
$5 for that?
Wow, that’s small, and $5 admission. I paid that much for shows with over 100 tables. Still at least it’s coins and any about is fun 🤩
But the venue is beautiful!
Still it’s a coin show, after the long drought it’s still an oasis, albeit a shallow one.
Well, the advertisement said the admission fee was $8 so I thought I got a deal.
They could of at least included a free hot dog with extra mustard.
Could be a poster for dealer soc. dist.
I thought about it, but stayed away due to focus on world coins and long drive... Thanks for the photo's
$2 off with ad...
Pleasure - it was like getting back in at the shallow end of the pool. Maybe we'll see you at Sac?
Tim
hhhmmm, I had no ad but appreciated the deal. Was almost a dollar a table as it was.
Good thinking 🤔
7 dealers. Wow. How much was the cost of a table vs. rent of facility?
Attending Dealers :
Classical Numismatic Group
Kagin's
Wolfshead Gallery
Herakles Numismatics
J. Zhang
Ken Dorney Coins
Gold Rush Numismatics
Griffin Coins
Surprised that a couple of dealers from the east coast made it out west for a one day show with all the cost involved and limited interest? in ancient and world coins.
Agree with ohers $5 for admission is excessive. All the usual bay area dealers were at the show in Las Vegas.
