Will be returning to the hometown on Sept 27th and looking forward to diving back into the coin/currency scene. Will appreciate any info on upcoming shows, great shops, etc. I've been gone almost 3 years, sure things have changed somewhat.

    Also NEVER talk coins in any Chitown image as that's the Gecko's Bat Cave! image

    Yes, some things have changed, but then some things are still the same. Now for the info on the shows:

    Here are the usual ones......

    1st Sunday - Lemont (S/SW Burbs)
    2nd Sunday - Countryside (W Burbs)
    3rd Sunday - Itasca (N/NW BBurbs)

    And not to be outdone, there are some other shows that are not quite in the same level of frequency.......

    Will County Coin Club Show - Joliet - Last Sunday in February
    Kankakee Valley Coin & Currency Show (A new (actually revived) show done by yours truly image ) - Bradley (a burb of Kankakee) - 3rd Sunday in March and October
    Elgin Coin Club Show - Elgin - last Sunday in April and October
    Indian Hill Coin Club Show - Gurnee - April or May
    Lake County (IL) Coin Club Show - Waukegan or Gurnee - latter part of March
    Rockford Area Coin Club Show - Rockford - 3 times a year, dates varies

    And lets not forget the "Big Boys"......

    ILNA Fall Show & Convention (which grew in size this past year) - Tinley Park - normally Thursday, Friday, & Saturday after Labor Day, but for 2009 it will be a week later due to Long Beach (in California for those who cannot read a map.)
    MidAmerica Coin Show - Schaumburg - latter part of June
    Chicago International Coin Fair (for the "darksiders) - Rosemont - latter part of April/early May
    Chicago Paper Money Expo - Rosemont - latter part of March

    So you'll be very busy pursuing your numismatic interests with all of these shows. Enjoy! image
    DORAN COINS - On Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), & www.dorancoins.net - UPCOMING SHOWS (tentative dates)- 10/8/2023 - Fairfield, IL, 11/5/2023 - Urbana, IL., 12/3/2023 - Mattoon, IL.

    Please refer to the home team as DA CUBS!

    oh I wish I could be there in the right field bleachers again, as I had sat for so many a year watching my CUBBIES- win or lose- we stayed til the last pitch and of course the last beer.

    I envy smoe of you- mebbe the wife will get me a set of tickets for my bday(next week Thursday btw)- then I can sit for the first round of the playoffs- should be a quick in n out.

    BUT- I will be in town 2nd week of dec.- another trial- and I'll be visitin the Capt. for the heck of it ( close to the courthouse).

    You guys are brutal!image Welcome back to the city. HJB downtown is nice, but a beach to park. Chicago Coin on Archer has always treated me fairly. World coin on Cicero is fairly decent, as is Kedzie Coins on 59th and Kedzie. I like the Countryside show as well.....just big enough to find what you are looking for, but small enough not to be overbearing.
