For Dealers – Contact Scott Loos for current status and bourse application for all PNNA shows.

The PNNA convention is the oldest and biggest annual coin show in the Pacific Northwest.

PNNA coin shows normally feature a large active bourse, exhibits, and a popular young numismatist (YN) program. Past conventions have often featured a numismatic theater and club meetings; however, these activities have not been available since conventions resumed in 2022. But you can meet members of local coin clubs and find out about their meetings, including the Seattle Coin Club meeting (see below).

Location: Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Ave. So., Tukwila, WA. A link to Google Maps is available on the TCC website. The 42nd Ave. S. bridge is one-way traffic away from the community center, so be sure to follow the detour signs when entering from Interurban Ave. S.

Note: New admission fees beginning with the 2024 show.
Admission/Hours – Public show hours: Friday Noon – 7 PM, Saturday 10 AM – 6 PM, Sunday 10 AM – 4 PM. Admission $5.00 per day, $10.00 for all three days. Children 12 and under are free, as are PNNA life members with photo ID badge. “Early Bird” admission (9 AM Fri/Sat/Sun) will be $50.00.

Dealers – Up to 85 local, regional and national numismatic dealer booths. A dealer list and map are posted at each show. See the dealer list for the 2023 spring coin show in Tukwila. (2024 list will be posted before the show.)

Education/Exhibits – There were not any formal Numismatic Theater presentations in 2023, however we ran a continuous loop of ANA education videos in the exhibit room on Friday and Saturday, along with a limited number of collector exhibits. The 2024 convention will be similar.

Grading ServicesANACS returned to PNNA coin shows in the fall of 2022 and attended again at the 2023 shows. A discount was available for certain U.S. coin submissions, and this will be true again in 2024. When an ANACS representative attends, the representative accepts submissions, but a grader is not present at PNNA shows.

Youth Activities – Young Numismatist (YN) treasure hunt will be offered on Saturday and Sunday (April 13-14), as part of youth and family activities. See Young Numismatist (YN) program information. Last spring (2023) the YN program was offered on both days, run by local volunteers, and was simplified so as not to require visiting “stops” on the bourse floor.
