Top 10 US and Canadian coin shows

Compa

OK ... let's have your opinions. I'm sure everyone here has a few.

Please share a list of what you believe to be the top 10 coin shows.

Use whatever criteria you want: most dealers - best selection of your specialties - favorite host city - best facility - most attendees - best time of year - whatever rocks your boat.

You can even indicate why you think one is better than another - or why one in particular is great.

Yes, I do have an ulterior motive (besides simple curiosity) for asking this question! I'll be adding a new section to my website that will be based on your answers.

I've attended 6 of the last 8 CNA's including the two in Niagara Falls. There were some classic US coins. I bought a bust half in Ottawa 2000. Going to a Canadian show for US coins only would not be worth it. Sometimes the auctions at these shows have some US material.

Here's the US Coins session of the 2008 CNA auction
