North Carolina’s coin show calendar is anchored by the annual North Carolina Numismatic Association (NCNA) Convention and Show — one of the larger statewide shows in the Southeast, drawing 165+ dealer tables — together with the Raleigh Money Expo and a steady set of regional shows in Marion, Jacksonville, Salisbury, and Charlotte. North Carolina also has historic gold-mining roots; the NC Gold Festival in Marion ties the state’s collector calendar to that history.
The state’s club network is well-organized through the NCNA, with active local clubs in Charlotte, Raleigh, Davidson County, and the coastal region. Most of the major regional shows fall in the second half of 2026, with the NCNA Convention itself returning to Concord in early October.

Buying Gold & Silver at Coin Shows
For precious-metals buyers, the North Carolina shows are useful for comparing dealer inventory in person. At the larger NC shows you will typically find dealers offering:
- U.S. coins and currency
- Gold and silver bullion (bars, rounds, sovereigns)
- Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins
- Junk silver and 90% silver coinage
- Certified coins from PCGS and NGC
- World coins, tokens, medals, and supplies
Shows also give newer collectors a chance to ask questions, learn how grading and pricing work, and connect with regional dealers who can be useful long-term contacts for sourcing inventory or selling collections.

NC Gold Festival Coin & Currency Show
The NC Gold Festival in Marion (June 6, 2026) is a smaller niche event tied to the state’s historic gold-mining region but worth knowing about for collectors with interest in pre-1933 U.S. gold or in the broader gold-mining history of the Carolinas.

Tips Before You Attend a Coin Show
Before heading out to a show, keep a few basics in mind:
- Verify the date, hours, and venue before leaving. Public calendars update, but last-minute changes still happen.
- Bring a want list so you stay focused.
- Compare dealer premiums if you are shopping for gold or silver bullion. Different dealers carry different inventory and price differently.
- Carry cash, but also ask which dealers accept cards or checks for larger purchases.
- For better-quality coins, know the difference between raw and certified material.
- For bullion buyers, check the live spot price before walking in so you have a real-time benchmark.
North Carolina has a smaller calendar than Florida or Texas but a strong club infrastructure, and the NCNA Convention in October is one of the better state shows in the Southeast for collectors and bullion buyers willing to plan around a single weekend.
