California has one of the deepest coin show calendars in the country, with major events spread across Southern California, the Central Valley, Sacramento, and the Bay Area. The calendar is anchored by the Long Beach Expo and the California State Numismatic Association convention, while a network of recurring monthly and quarterly shows gives collectors regular opportunities to buy, sell, and trade throughout the year.
Southern California accounts for much of the state’s show activity, with recurring events in Arcadia, Anaheim, San Fernando, and Van Nuys. Northern California collectors have regular access to shows in Santa Clara, Cupertino, Sacramento, Novato, and Sunnyvale. The result is a statewide calendar that remains active nearly every month of the year.
