Good timing right between the shows........

There are no shows in the Sacramento area for the next three months or so, but there will be two shows around October. there is an 80 table or so show in Modesto (1 hour south) in the middle of July. Whether you'll find anything good at that show or actually want to travel to Modesto in July is up to you.

There are several coin shops in the Sacramento area. Once you get there check the yellow pages for more information and locations.

By the way, Modesto is the city of Scott Peterson, Lacey Peterson, Gary Condit and Chandra Levy fame. It's been consistently ranked as one of the worst cities to live in in America.

What about the San Francisco Show for July 25-27th at 1101 Van Ness Avenue. San Francisco is a scant 1.5 hours away.

There's also The Alameda Coin Club Show on June 22 at Alameda High School, 2220 Central Avenue. Alameda is a short drive away from Sacramento.

You can Check out Excelsior Coin Gallery 2710 Arden Way Sacramento, CA . (916) 487-2646 Lots of inventory but a small shop. I went in once looking for IKEs and all his wife would bring out is about 5 or 6 at a time. Kind of a Pain.

A good shop is also Marconi Coin & Currency 4949 Marconi Avenue F Carmichael, CA (916) 486-0327 The hours are a little weird. Something like 9-3 on Weekdays only.

20 minutes north of Sacramento is Auburn (my town) and there you'll find the Gold Country Gold Exchange at 2428 Grass Valley Highway Auburn, CA. (530) 885-9050 Some more unusual hours but call ahead.

East of Auburn is Folsom Coins & Currency 613 E Bidwell Street Folsom, CA . (916) 985-7720 Nice comfortable shop in Prison Town USA!

Between Auburn and Sacramento is Rocklin Coin Shop www.rocklincoinshop.com 4870 Granite Drive Rocklin, CA (916) 315-0888. Another nice shop. They don;t stock IKEs there so I don;t go by that often.

I'd give you

My wife and I used to make several trips a year in the 90's up there when it was a mecca for jumbo antique malls. They're all gone now.

It's got a nice Midtown area. Suburbs are far flung, sorely lacking freeways.
Do a yellowpages.com search. Does Macintosh have a B@M shop? Nice dealer at shows I go to in Santa Clara.

McIntosh does not have a shop but I think you can make appts with them. I would go through the son as he seems much more friendly at times.

I live in Sacramento and this information is basically correct. John McIntosh is a great guy but he does not have a shop.

Nice to know about the Sacramento-area shops. My family sometimes goes to visit an aunt in Carmichael and I'd always wondered about any coin shops. I know there's usually a small coin show in Fairfield (~40 min. away) in September.
