How many coin shows did you attend in 2024?

This year I attended 8 coin shows. For the last several years I have been going to 11 shows every year. I have decided to cut out some of the smaller shows where I would have a lesser chance of finding anything that I need. I expect to attend even fewer shows in 2025. How many shows did you attend in 2024?

I think I attended just 3, all Long Beach, in 2024

Winter FUN, Long Beach #1, CSNS, August ANA, and the GACS in Tampa. A record low for me in more than 15 years.
I had intended to attend Summer FUN but my plans were derailed when my son got a new job in Philly and I jumped in to help with his last-second move. I also missed the November Baltimore show due to a wedding on my wife’s side of the family. Also Long Beach #3 was a miss because I chose to attend the GACS in Tampa, which turned out to be a whiff.

5 or 6. Will see about 2025
Only 2 - Tampa & one in LB. @renomedphys: hey Matt, sorry Tampa was a whiff for you; it was a HR for me! See you @ FUN!

Five. FUN Winter and Summer, one Palm Beach local show, one Lakeland and the big, “never to happen again” Tampa show. I spent the most at the Tampa show, oddly enough.
I lost a Lakeland show to Hurricane Milton.
None. I'm not in the same class as all you hardcores. Lol!

Zero...I collect Latin American coins and live in Canada and wit ha small budget like I have it would be to costly. Maybe one day the show in Arizona for Latin American coins will see as the years go by.

Just some local monthly shows to kick the tires, not a single major show and 2025 will be the same. Spending thousands of dollars traveling to shows is just a waste of funds that could be used to purchase a nice coin. If I were as wealthy as many here and buying 5 and 6 figure coins I would want to see them in person and would be able to afford those travels, but I'm not.

I went to 7 shows in 2024. They were all in the same state. Sadly I missed a big show due to weather
Only 3 local shows this year, due to half the shows being cancelled by the promoter. Hope to increase that number next year as a new venue is opening up monthly within 25 miles of my home in 2025.
Winter FUN
CSNS
Summer ANA
4 Local Shows
2025 will have roughly the same number of miles travelled but much more esoteric.

The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
Two. Didn't come away with anything very momentous from either one, but they were both fun outings.
eBay, BST, large dealers and small local dealer “shows”!
Only 3 or 4 local shows.
First time in several years that I did not attend a national or regional show.

Never been to a national show before this year. Went to CSNS, ANA and the fall Whitman show. Attended 5 local shows as well. Looking forward to FUN!

Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Zero, maybe one early in the year... family health issues limited work and time.
I keep saying "next year" alot since 2020.
Almost ready to pack it all in and take up watercolor or something else stimulating

I went to Balt Spring, and Fall, PCGS INvitational in Oxon Hill, our two local coin club shows, and state show in Raleigh
Summer ANA for me. Talked with and had dinner with Bob Levinson
and his wife. I met with messy desk and he imaged about 100 coins
for me. Dark Side, Early Dated coins. Hope to get to Knoxville to attend
the February show. Maybe chat with giorgio11 if he isn't busy.
None… I live in a small town in the midwestern US, and there are no coin shows I’m aware of near where I live. We don’t even have coin shops or coin clubs near where I live🥲
Approx. a dozen. A monthly show in eastern Nebraska and shows in Des Moines and Sioux Falls. I plan to add Kansas City as a first time adventure in the coming year. Hoping for a road trip to Schaumburg too.

I think 2. Hope to do better in 2025.
Almost more important to me is how many times I lot view the major auctions. Since I work in NYC, I can lot view most Heritage and SB auctions if I plan ahead and have time.

Just one in St Charles, Mo.
One, and it was disappointing -- venue felt smaller than my living room; none of the tables had any items of interest.
3 local shows for me
I will be going to OKC next year
Three, both FUNs and the Tampa GACC. They are all about a three hour drive for me.

Ditto, wanted to go on Fri. but chickened out because of the snow driving from Broomfield.
Saturday was good though, but by noon some of the booths started clearing out. Some of those guys were probably "burnt out" from the snow storm the previous 2 days!?...
Great Rarities display at the back near the Mint booth...
None. I went to a local show several years ago, and did not enjoy it at all. What I'm willing to spend on coins for an entire year would largely be eaten up by the expense of flying to an out-of-town show, staying in a hotel for several days, and eating at restaurants. So I don't.
@Rc5280
Went down on Wed. before snow started.
Stayed at the Broadmoor so getting to/from bourse was easy. Found some great coins as Wednesday & Thursday were slow, not many other buyers.

I went to one in KC in 2024. Hopefully, I can get to some more in 2025.
I only attended 7 or 8 this year. That is the lowest since 2017.
I usually try to get to at least 12 shows a year, so that is my goal for 2025.

FUN, Summer FUN, and a local flea market.
only 3 this year. 2 local and 1 in Tulsa (so reasonably local).
Approx. 8....all small local shows (within an hour's drive) because here in Canada, we don't have a large national coin show.
