I don't get to many shows any more, but this is real close and I've never been. Is it worth fighting Chicago construction and Rosemont traffic? Thanks for any opinions
CICF is a good show if you are into world and ancient coins. For all other coins, I would go to Central States instead.
I'll second what medoraman says. If you are into Non-US and ancients you will see more, better, and tougher coins at this show than at other with the exception possibly of the New York International show. If you are mainly interested in US coins the Central States it the place you want to go if you are looking for a large show in that area.
Where are you coming from? The roads in that area aren't too bad. I live in Mt. Prospect and it's easy for me to get there. I've gone for the last three years I think. There is a lot to see there, but it depends on what you collect, as other people said. A lot of the dealers seem to specialize in certain things. I prefer cheap coins and there isn't a lot to choose from with those, but there is a lot of really nice stuff.
