The Whitman Baltimore Winter Expo, one of the nation’s premier coin and collectibles shows, returns to the Baltimore Convention Center November 14-16, 2024, celebrating over 50 years of service to the numismatic community. This event will feature nearly 1,000 independent dealers, offering free appraisals, expert insights, and a unique opportunity for collectors and families to explore the world of coin collecting.
Open to the public with free admission with a photo ID, the Baltimore Winter Expo is a trusted marketplace for buying, selling, and trading rare coins, paper money, and other collectibles. Attendees will have the chance to learn about the value of their coins and the stories behind them from seasoned dealers as they shop, sell, and trade. As an additional draw, both Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) will be on-site to perform coin authentication and grading during the Expo with additional details available on each company’s website.
The Baltimore Winter Expo will also host family-friendly events, including the popular “Kids Nook”, where children 6 to 12 can engage in interactive activities including a fill-your-album coin activity, treasure chest coin grab, and coin-themed coloring activities. Each participating child will receive a goodie bag with collectibles provided by coin dealers to inspire the next generation of collectors.
Additionally, scouts and their families are invited to sign up for a workshop on Saturday, November 16 at 10 a.m. where they can complete most of the coin collecting merit badge requirements and Cub Scouts can earn the Adventures in Coins elective towards their Wolf rank advancement. Pre-registration for this workshop is required.
Collectors looking to beat the crowds can purchase early-bird access, which offers entry to the show before public hours on all three days. Public admission hours are from noon to 6 p.m. on Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Partnering with the legendary auction house Stack’s Bowers Galleries, the Baltimore Winter Expo will also feature an extensive auction of numismatic rarities. Among the highlights are rare coins from the Robert D. Reed, Bernard Richards, Darrel O. Neidigh, Jr, and Ross Family Collections as well as the recently publicized ‘Chapman Set’ of Gold Dollars. These collections represent a significant assemblage of hundreds of United States gold coins, including early Mint issues and world-class Territorial gold across all denominations and series. Many of these offerings have been off the market for 40 years or more, are freshly grated, and represent important opportunities not to be missed.
