Actually, I agree w/NYC. Deepest pockets and lots of very old time money.
<< <i>Philadelphia? >>
Agreed. That's where the main factory is.
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.

at the epicenter but the city itself is a dead zone for coins so Chicago or Milwaukee are
contenders too.
I'll agree with Philly.

I was waiting for someone to mention a city outside the U.S.
Dallas and South Florida then fight for "second city" status

<< <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.
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.

I figure it has to be somewhere in Florida since that's where centsles, ACG, and other shining stars are located. Florida isn't part of the US, is it?

No, it's South Ontario, eh?
