Is there any really good sources, or ways of finding coin shows and dealers in PA. I get coin world, and I love the section they have for shows, but sometimes a show isn't in the listing until the week of the show, and I need more time than that to prepare. Any help would be great. Bill
This should help you out with dealers - ANA Dealer Directory As for the shows, if you contact the organizations or clubs that host the shows and ask for it they will send a notice by mail well in advance of an upcoming show date. You should be able to find the contact info in Coin World.
Try just typing in coin shows in PA or PA coin shows. I'd spell out the state but I can't spell that one. That works in Illinois. Also go to Coin World web site and type in coin shows. Then you can try the PCGS or NGC web sites and type in coin shows. Then there are those things called newpapers, coin magazines, etc.
I live about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh. The PAN show is being held in Monroeville (east of Pittsburgh) the second weekend in May.
