Illinois Coin Show

carl

I'm probably just getting old but I can't find information on the Mid-America Coin and Currency Convention in Illinois in June 23 to 25th. Where do I go for such information as to location, address, times, cost, etcc?? I've spent to much time trying to find that info on the net but only come up with the Itasca Illinois show.

Carl, its not you I tried searching for you also and am finding nothing but will keep searching and let you know if I find something

This is odd. According to the Rosemont convention center, there is such a coin show on those dates but not mentioned anywhere else I can find. Anyone out there going to this show? Know where it is advertised?

Don't forget plenty of cash for parking. I think it was $11 last year, and then you had a half mile walk to the bourse. If you plan on getting hungry, the only food within a mile or two is convention center food, which there's never any room to eat, and hotel food. The parking has no in-out privileges. They're building a new convention center in Schaumburg. It'd be a nicer location than Rosemont when it's done, although most biggish shows that size and larger that I've attended are at nicer locations than Rosemont.

If you're flying in for the show, don't let a travel agent tell you that you can save $50 flying into Midway instead of O'Hare. I know someone this happened to once. He ripped the travel agent a new one when I showed him a map.
