The Whitman Expos™ Baltimore Winter Expo, a premier coin and collectibles show, will take place at the Baltimore Convention Center from November 14-16, 2024. Celebrating over 50 years in the numismatic community, the event will feature nearly 1,000 independent dealers offering free appraisals, expert insights, and opportunities for collectors to buy, sell, and trade rare coins and other collectibles.
Open to the public with free admission (with photo ID), the expo provides a trusted marketplace for enthusiasts. Attendees can learn the value of their coins from seasoned dealers, while coin authentication and grading services will be available on-site from Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC®) and Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).
"This event is about more than just collecting coins," said Lori Kraft, general manager of Whitman Expos. "It’s about community, history, and education. For over 50 years, the Baltimore community has warmly welcomed us, and we look forward to offering the best experience for years to come."
The expo will also feature family-friendly activities, including the popular “Kids Nook,” where children aged 6 to 12 can participate in interactive coin activities. Additionally, scouts can attend a workshop on November 16 to complete merit badge requirements and Cub Scouts can earn the Adventures in Coins elective. Pre-registration for this workshop is required.
For those seeking early access, early-bird entry is available before public hours. Public admission runs from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
A major highlight will be an auction by Stack’s Bowers Galleries, showcasing rare coins from several notable collections, including 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. Many of these coins have been off the market for decades, offering a unique opportunity for collectors. For more details, visit www.stacksbowers.com.
