    Hello Coin talk friends,
    I will be visiting the US in July and would like to know if there are any interesting coin shows to visit, specifically in Massachusetts where i shall be staying most of the time.
    It would be great to visit a show in the US!
    Thanks and regards,
    Eduard

    Hi Eduard, where in Mass are you going to be? There's a monthly show that I sometimes go to, in a suburb of Boston (it's in Westford). It wouldn't be too difficult to talk me into bringing you to it. :)

    There is one in Auburn, MA the 2nd Sunday of the month. It usually slows down in the summer a bit. Good time to pick up a bargain.

    Thank you very MUCH for the Tips guys, and sorry i have not been able to reply before due to the trip over here to the U.S, and limited access to a computer.

    Thanks to the link you guys gave me (and to a GPS in our rented car!!), we found our way on July 6th to a coin show in Dedham, MA. It was mixed stamps and coins and rather small, with about 20-25 dealers. There was one gentleman who has some early coppers and i purchased a Rosa Americana 1 pence from him in Fine grade. A nice man, he also has written a book about Massachusetts history. All other dealers we spoke to were pleasant as well, but there was one exception: my son asked a dealer (first one as we came in on the right) if he had a particular coin series that he is interested in. The dealer replied "Yes, but i will not show it to you as you have no money anyway...." A rather surprising remark! and i had to step in. Hmmm....an unpleasant character he was.

    Next weekend we will find our way to another coin show, this time in Auburn, Ma, close to Worcester. I was told this one is larger and we are really looking forward to it.

    Once again thanks for the tips!

    Eduard
