There are more great coins in New York - New Jersey area when it comes to things to buy than anywhere else.
I've lived in the New York area, Boston and Tampa. New York was tops, Boston was OK and Tampa is a vast wasteland.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Actually, I agree w/NYC. Deepest pockets and lots of very old time money.
<< <i>Philadelphia? >>

This was the original mint and coins have been made here since the 1790's. Probably not as important today as it was.
Capital of the world covers a lot of real estate.
Interesting question.

Numismatic capital of the world? Tough to choose.
<< <i>Baltimore, anyone? Actually, I agree w/NYC. Deepest pockets and lots of very old time money. >>
I have neither
New York and Philly have decayed to the point where they no longer can claim the title.
Examples:
August is all about Denver and Colorado Springs.
November; Baltimore vs Long Beach
January; Orlando FL
No, I don't think so, but I would sure hope it was.
