Any suggestions for coin shops in Washington, DC?

I need to go to Washington, DC next week for a tax conference (sounds like fun, huh?). I will be staying at the Willard Intercontinental at 1401 Pennsylvania Ave. Are there any coin shops within walking distance?

No suggestions?

Definitely visit Julian in Silver Springs, MD. I have seen him at shows, and he has great stuff.

Julian at Bonanza Coins is the only significant one... There were several downtown, but leases have gone so high they can't stay in business.

I also might be going to D.C. this spring. Thanks. How about dealers in Providence R.I.?

I use to work in Silver Spring, before I was into collecting seriously, but I noticed at least 2 shops within walking distance of the Silver Spring Metro station. Just hop onto a metro train and tranfer to the Red line toward Glenmont. It's an easy and pretty quick ride.

The Smithsonian... but nothing's for sale, and I'm not sure how hard it is to get vault access

Be careful, Orthopedic Surgeons are in Washington next week too. The big annual convention, and there are a bunch of em.
