Any good Ohio coin shops and shows?

Hello,

Wanted to get the opinions of the membership here. I occasionally visit relatives in the Cincinnati & Columbus areas and was curious if there were any good numismatic places to visit.

Cheers,

If you are in the Cincinnati area, you should make a point to visit coinspluscincy.com/ at any of their three B&M coin shops in the Cincinnati, OH and Florence, KY area. The downtown Cincinnati shop is probably best, and be sure to ask for Brad Karoleff, who can provide you with a virtual numismatic education as time allows.

Cincinnati:

Coins Plus is pretty good. I like to stop into Hyde Park Coin although they're more of a buying front.

I work pretty close to Franklin Street and have had mixed experiences.

Allen's is still there. They are good for lower end stuff. Not too many slabbed coins but they do have supplies, lots of circulated coins and recent proof sets.

If you are traveling through Northwest Ohio, the Toledo Coin Exchange is worth a stop. They have a nice selection of coins for just about any budget- U.S. and World.

Sadly, there are few good shows left in ohio. The state started taxing coins about 10 years ago and scared away the big shows.

I need to jump in here and correct the last statement, a little.

We were just successful in having the sales tax removed on all gold, silver, platinum and palladium coins. The new exemption went into effect January 1. So, come on back and purchase all the precious metal coins you want tax FREE!
