The PCGS Members Only Show Goes To Washington – D.C., That Is!

Many of those familiar with the coin “biz” know about the great coin shows held in Baltimore, but what about the action in neighboring Washington, D.C.? Are there any coin shows in D.C.? I’ve been to shows in lots of D.C. suburbs and dozens of shows in Baltimore, but I’ve never attended a coin show in D.C. itself.

It’s on my list…

I have to laugh. I lived less than three hours from Washington, D.C., for nearly a decade, I visited but once, yet spent nearly two weeks in total in Baltimore less than an hour away every year for decades attending coin shows there. Of course, the “show” was in Baltimore, but I regret not spending more time in the District of Columbia, especially at the Smithsonian Institution, over the years.

From my one visit decades ago, I can still recall the sense of awe and wonder upon seeing both the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial for the first time. But what really got me was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I don’t have any personal friends or family listed on the wall, and yet, try not to cry… The memory is poignant.

You have to go. Consider this your invitation. No need to RSVP – just come.

If the luxury of serendipity presents itself, one should take advantage, right? Included in the events PCGS is sponsoring this year are two East Coast Members Only Shows this spring in both Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Both of these cities offer dozens of significant historic sites and venues.

Why not plan a “two-fer” trip? Combine your trip to either Philadelphia or Washington, D.C., with a visit to one of our nation’s historical sites. PCGS has been to Philadelphia before, but other than the nearby Baltimore expos, PCGS has never staged an event in the nation’s capital. PCGS is sponsoring their first Members Only Trade and Grade at the MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino in Oxon Hill, Maryland, from April 2 through April 6. Oxon Hill is a suburb of Washington D.C., and is east of Alexandria, Virginia – very close to the Capitol Building itself.

Many dealers from all over the U.S. attend PCGS Members Only Shows to buy and sell rare coins. In addition, at PCGS Members Only Shows you can meet some of our friendly staff and learn how to submit your coins and banknotes for authentication and grading. PCGS Customer Service Representatives will be onsite to help with starting or renewing a PCGS Collectors Club membership or to assist with submissions. If you’re not already a member of the PCGS Collectors Club you could join today to gain submission privileges.

Please come – we would love to see you!
