Great American Coin Show in Chicago (Rosemont)

This week is the Great American Coin Show at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. I’m going Thursday and Friday. Is anyone going? I’m struggling finding a reasonably priced hotel room - something must be going on that week in Chicago.

This show is in a decent central location, but I really hate the concrete mafia hole known as Rosemont.

I am going to school in Chicago and Rosemont is very close. I am very hopeful that I can make it one day (hopefully Thursday after my morning classes). I have never been to a coin show but have wanted to go to one for years. I have a number of coins I would love to trade or sell.

 

I won't be going to the show, but for me and my wife
it's the perfect place for the ANA summer show. We drive up from
N.E. Tenn. and it's an easy drive. Parking at the hotel
isn't an issue.
@Dimedude2 Not really familiar with this comment:

Care to elabarate?

 

Rosemont is a historical mafia run convention friendly village with not a lot of character.

 

@Dimedude2 I had heard it was family "run/owned",
but not the Mafia connection. Years ago as you walked
into the convention center there was a large display of
Hummels. Is it still there? My family has about 20 of
the musicians. Just curious.

 

no idea, sorry

 

I'll be headed to a local coin show at Ft. Walton Beach.

 

Ft Walton Beach appeals to me much more than Chicago. Have fun at the show.
