Springfield Illinois Coin Show Sun Mar 20

Lew

There will be a medium sized coin show (~70 dealers) in Springfield, Illinois this Sunday March 20. Time is 9am to 4pm. Location is Northfield Center I at the corner of Illinois 54 and Dirksen Parkway. Take the Sangamon exit (exit 100B) from I-55.
Once you get on to Dirksen Parkway there are usually signs pointing to the coin show.

Darn. I wish that I had known about it sooner. It would have been a good reason to visit relatives and play with coins.

I am debating going as I only live a little over an hour away...

I got to the show a few minutes before 9:00 am. There was a group of about 15-20 people waiting to get in.
The floor was active with a fair amount of people -- the aisles are not real wide so at some tables it was alternating people to get past the the crowded areas.
Like most shows this size it is about 90% the same dealers every show. While I was looking at Morgan dollars at a couple of tables there was buying and selling between dealers and collectors. I did not notice any dealer to dealer buying/selling.
I left a little after noon and there was still a good sized crowd.
I did see DIMEMAN at one table but did not know it was him until the dealer and I were talking about this posting and I said that DIMEMAM was planning on being at the show and the dealer said "That was DIMEMAN here at my table a few minutes ago".
So all in all this is a good active medium sized show -- next show is Sunday, Jul 24 same time, same place.

I won't be at that show. My next show is Central States next month. Are you going to that one?

Lew

After Collinsville the next coin show for me will be Centralia, Illinois on May 17.

DIMEMAN

Next for me after Central States will be the July St. Louis and then July Springfield then November Springfield.......

There is a show of about 45 tables in Pekin, IL on April 10 at the Moose Lodge. I plan on attending that one at least just to look around.

Lew

I have not been to the Pekin, IL show. Won't be able to make it this year.
At the Springfield Show I was told that the Milan, IL coin show was a good show.
I looked it up and it is the Quad City Coin Club Show on Apr 3. Won't be able to make the Milan show either.
