Annual Coin Show
The Old Fort Coin Club has an annual coin shows at the Allen County Fairgrounds each year. It is held on the third Sunday in March. It is free to all guests and participants.
The show is a great place to buy and sell coins. Along with coins, a wide range of items are presented, such as currency, bullion, tokens and exonumia. Foreign coins, ancient and domestic coins can be found at our show.
The annual show is a great place to see and learn about numismatics. There are scores of ways to collect coins and related items. The show is an opportunity to see what items are selling for and what many in the area see as collectable.
There is an average of sixty-five tables sold to dealers for presentation.
