Four Luxury Events Set for
Phoenix, Huntington Beach, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas
Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) has released its full schedule of Trade & Grade Shows for 2026. The company will host four events across the United States, continuing a format it introduced in late 2025.
These events evolved from the former PCGS Members Only Shows. However, PCGS has now opened them to the public, expanding access to collectors nationwide.
PCGS Expands Access with Trade & Grade Format
PCGS President Stephanie Sabin confirmed that the company launched the Trade & Grade concept to reach more collectors.
“In our effort to expand our widely popular coin shows to more collectors, we debuted the PCGS Trade & Grade Shows in late 2025,” Sabin said. “It’s all part of our effort to reach more collectors and foster a more inclusive numismatic hobby on a regional and nationwide basis.”
Importantly, the shows retain the features that made the Members Only format successful. Attendees can expect:
- A roster of select dealers specializing in PCGS-graded coins, banknotes, and other collectibles
- A smaller, more intimate convention format
- Regional locations across the United States
As a result, collectors gain access to a focused marketplace without the scale of a major national convention.
Full 2026 PCGS Trade & Grade Schedule
PCGS will host four Trade & Grade events in 2026:
- Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak, Phoenix, Arizona – March 31–April 2, 2026
- Paséa Hotel & Spa, Huntington Beach, California – May 19–21, 2026
- Live! Casino & Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – October 21–23, 2026
- MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada – December 9–11, 2026
Each venue places the convention inside a high-end resort or hotel property. Therefore, attendees can combine numismatics with upscale accommodations and amenities.
On-Site Submissions: A Major Collector Advantage
Every PCGS Trade & Grade event offers collectors the opportunity to submit coins, banknotes, and other eligible collectibles directly to PCGS for grading.
This matters. Collectors can avoid shipping costs. They also reduce turnaround time compared to mailing submissions.
In addition, attendees can:
- Buy, sell, and trade with dealers representing diverse segments of the hobby
- Interact directly with PCGS team members
- Network with fellow collectors
Consequently, these events serve both as marketplaces and community hubs.
Luxury Settings Enhance the Experience
Each 2026 location delivers more than a convention floor. The selected resorts and hotels provide a range of on-site amenities unique to their properties.
Collectors who plan to attend can review detailed venue information and event specifics directly through PCGS. The company provides updates, submission guidelines, and show details at its official website.

Why PCGS Trade & Grade Matters in 2026
PCGS continues to refine its event strategy. First, it broadened access beyond members. Next, it expanded geographically. Now, it delivers four regionally focused conventions in premier venues.
For collectors, the equation is simple: direct grading access, curated dealer participation, and an intimate show environment.
In today’s evolving hobby landscape, that combination carries weight.
