interesting I see that Bay State was in the top 10.... I am sure we would all agree about the top 3 (FUN, ANA, Baltimore) but who would you vote for the next 7 spots and why?

CSNS, i've been to the summer ANA and i prefer the CSNS over the ANA. I think it had a lot more coins which the low and mid level collectors could afford. At ANA i felt like 75% of the dealers were only there for the 'whales' and almost ignored the common collector.

<< <i>East Coast people don't know about Santa Clara.

I'm told the TNA Show is good.

And the dealers rave about the HI State show...... >>



Santa Clara has a few attendees from the East Coast, but it could always use more. It also seems that Santa Clara lacks a presence from dealers from the Southeast.

I attended the TNA show last year, and it wasn't very good in my opinion although attendance was okay.

I also attended The Hawaii State Numismatic Association show last year and the show itself is fairly ho-hum with about 40 tables or so. Most dealers who I know who attend this show do it for the business write-off while they take their families along for a vacation.

The CSNS show is a very good one. The Mid-America show in Rosemont, IL is another show I enjoy attending.

Central States is always a great show. Long Beach is supposedly good, but I don't attend. And, of course, the Silver Dollar and Rare Coin Exposition.
