Collectors
Coin show is for collectors as well as the curious
Man has used some form of coin in
exchange for goods and services for more
than 2,000 years, from the Romans to
the Aztecs. At the 19th annual Coin

Connecticut will be exhibiting, trading
and selling coins from around the world.

coins, as well as coins from Greece, Italy,
the Middle East and more.
“Buy, Sell or Trade” is the theme. For
anyone who is new to coin collecting, or

show more enjoyable:
• Plan to arrive early in the day rather

to look at all the exhibits and talk with
dealers.
• Bring a good coin guide with prices
for reference. There will be many coin
dealers at the show. Find out who can
offer the best value by having the cur-
rent pricing chart handy and visible.
• Bring a notebook or use the memo
function in your smart phone to keep
track of contact information for dealers

future.
