This press release describes an expansion of the 2023 Central States
Numismatic Society convention.
-Editor
Three new bourse floor areas will be
added for the convenience of collectors and dealers at the next Central States
Numismatic Society (www.csns.org) convention in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg,
Illinois, April 27-29, 2023.
In addition to adding 100 tables to the regular bourse floor space, an entirely new
area will be devoted specifically for lower-priced items, and there also will be another
space devoted to merchants who are only doing wholesale dealer-to-dealer business.
The 2023 Central States show will offer more dealer-friendly and collector-
friendly options and flexibility than have ever been provided by us or any other coin
show in the past. Innovative new ideas are being introduced that create a wider array of
options to help us do a better job of understanding and meeting the varied needs of our
dealers and visitors, stated CSNS Convention Manager Larry Shepherd.
The convention now will have room for 600 tables on the main floor to
accommodate all dealers who want space there, plus there will be a new, lower-priced
Collector's Corner Shop Annex on the second floor.
This new area will offer a budget/economy, no-frills bourse floor directly above
the main show floor at the top of the lobby escalator. It is designed to attract beginning
collectors and young dealers who enjoy the hobby but don't have the resources to rent
an expensive table on the main floor or to buy or sell mega-priced coins. There will be
abundant signage to direct traffic and encourage collectors and dealers to visit both
floors, explained Shepherd.
This is another unique and innovative first for Central States, and for our
industry, aimed at providing a complete range of service to the entire numismatic
community, from top to bottom. Collectors, whether spending $1 or $10 million, can now
feel at home at Central States, knowing there will be plenty of material in their area of
interest and price range, he stated.
In another major innovation for Central States, we will be the first national coin
show to offer an exclusively-wholesale area on the main bourse floor. It will be for
dealers who only want to do dealer-to-dealer business at their table and be able to leave
whenever they are finished, said Shepherd.
In addition, new security and safety measures will be in place.
The Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center recently upgraded their
surveillance systems to add more high-tech security equipment and cameras, both
indoors and outside. The indoor cameras can provide high-resolution facial photos, and
the outdoor cameras can capture license plate information on cars entering and exiting.
Information about the convention, including bourse table applications, and hotel
accommodations, is available on the CSNS convention website,
www.CSNS.org or by
