The Central States Numismatic Society (CSNS) will spotlight Missouri during its 87th Anniversary Convention Coin Show, scheduled for April 23–25, 2026. The recognition continues CSNS’s multi-year initiative to honor each of the 13 states within the organization’s geographic region.
Convention Returns to Schaumburg, Illinois
CSNS will again host the convention at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center, located at 1551 North Thoreau Drive, Schaumburg, Illinois. This suburban Chicago venue has served as the convention site in recent years.
The hotel and convention center offer free parking for all visitors and guests.
Free Missouri-Themed Quarters for Attendees
As part of the Missouri theme, CSNS will distribute 1,000 2017 Ozark National Scenic Riverways quarters to visitors.
According to CSNS President Mitch Ernst, the quarters commemorate 134 miles of rivers in southeastern Missouri.
Attendees may receive one coin per visitor, while supplies last, at the CSNS club tables (A2 and A3).
Littleton Coin Company donated the coins, which were issued under the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program.
Missouri-Only Exhibits Highlight State Numismatic History
Collectors are encouraged to create Missouri-related exhibits for the 2026 convention.
Jack Huggins, CSNS Secretary/Treasurer and 2026 Exhibits Chairman, explained that Missouri offers extensive numismatic material, including coins, tokens, medals, and 19th-century National Bank Notes from more than 260 issuing banks.
To align with the theme, only Missouri-related exhibits will appear in the newly redesigned collector exhibit area.

Heritage Auctions Named Official Auctioneer
Heritage Auctions, located at booth #800, will serve as the Official Auctioneer for the 2026 CSNS Convention.
