Very Small Coin Shows - What is the smallest you've been to?

I've been to a few coin shows over the past year and a half; 2 of them several times. Out of the shows, the smallest one was the show in Bloomington, Indiana on April 12th of this year; there were 32 tables and around 20 dealers, including me.

What's the smallest coin show that you have attended? I've seen pictures of some but have never heard of the experience.

I have a local coin show called the Montgomery Co Coin Show that is monthly; I only attend a few times per year because it is always the same dealers with the same inventory. I don't recall how many tables there are, I want to say 50, maybe a little more.

 

@Lehigh96
It seems they are the same dealers that do Trevose and Langhorne.

 

You are correct, they have the Montco & Trevose shows combined on one Facebook page now called the BuxMont Coin Shows. The Trevose show is just a little too far away for me, like an hour drive.

 

We have coin shows in Raleigh about six times a year. One or two of them are in smaller venues, and while I don't remember exactly how many dealers were at the last one I attended, I'm thinking 12 was probably about the most it could have been. I eventually stopped going to those; it wasn't worth the 20-minute drive each way.

I have not been to our local coin show(yearly) in 2 or 3 years. When I first went 10 to 15 years ago there was more dealers. The last time I went it seems there were only maybe 20-30 dealers at most. And it seemed most were selling modern stuff and/or foreign coins which I do not collect. Only 2 dealers there had stuff I really looked at - both large cent dealers - one was an a$$hat and the other had prices way above what I would pay, but the coins were nice. Used to be the local shop kept a small table there but they stopped attending. Now I just can't bring myself to go see same old stuff.

 

A pick coin club show Inonce went to only had 12 dealers and I got the impression they were not dealers but coin club members.

 

There used to be a bunch of little shows in Indiana organized by a specific dealer. Before I finally caught on I had driven for a couple hours to a "twenty five table show" that actually had about 10 sports card dealers and this one specific dealer whose stock I had seen several times already.

 

Our local coin club has a show twice a year and I think it's the only coin show I've ever been to. I'd guess 20-30 tables, perhaps a bit more some years. Some of the old timers seemingly have the same inventory every time - long red boxes filled with world coin 2x2s for example.

 

I've been wanting to go there for a while now! It's all but a 15-20 minute drive from here but I have yet to actually go. My favorite LCS guy is there sometimes (Bucks County Rare Coin) but I'm typically in his shop often enough that I'd just see everything I've already seen lol!

 

I usually go to Coins & Currency of Wayne. He's mostly a bullion dealer and doesn't waste his time on the small numisimatic value involved in Jefferson Nickels.
