The PNNA coin show is known for its vibrant and active bourse, featuring up to 85 dealer booths from local, regional, and national numismatic experts.

The event goes beyond buying and selling. Attendees can explore exhibits, attend educational sessions and participate in the ever-popular numismatic theater. There’s also a strong focus on engaging younger generations, with a dedicated family and Young Numismatist (YN) program designed to spark interest in coin collecting.
