Market Strong During PNG Dealer Day at Whitman Expos Baltimore Show

Dealer-to-dealer trading was vibrant at the Professional Numismatists Guild PNG Dealer Day on the eve of the recent Whitman Expos Baltimore Show, according to PNG officials.

The one-day event on November 5, 2025 in the Baltimore Convention Center provided over 100 dealers from around the country with the opportunity to acquire coins and bank notes for their inventory and their clients’ want lists.

“The first-ever PNG Dealer Day in Baltimore at the Whitman Expo was a resounding success. There was positive feedback and interest in future PNG Dealer Day events,” stated PNG President Jame Sego. 

“We sold more tables than the previous Central States Numismatic Society PNG event. Dealers were excited about the on-floor trading in Baltimore and the bourse floor layout that allowed them to work at their regular show tables,” he reported.

“With gold and silver at or near all-time highs, the numismatic market is mirroring this strength. Dealers were asking about a PNG Dealer Day at the March 2026 Baltimore show.  Unfortunately, it's too late to add that to the calendar; however, we do plan a PNG Dealer Day at the 2026 Central States show and next year's Baltimore November show, and most likely a PNG Dealer Day at the March 2027 Baltimore show,” said Sego.

“The Whitman Expo PNG Dealer Day is the newest addition to the coin show calendar. The event is designed to give dealers greater access to serious customers in the safest possible environment. Thanks to the enthusiasm expressed by President Sego and fellow members, PNG is looking to extend our community and outreach to other events throughout the year,” said PNG Executive Director John Feigenbaum.

The next PNG Dealer Day will be on April 22, 2026 in conjunction with the Central States Numismatic Society convention at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois.

"It will be open for all PNG member-dealers, to CSNS member-dealers who are table holders for the CSNS show, and other dealers who want to purchase an admission pass,” explained Feigenbaum.

Bourse table application forms and information about upcoming PNG events, including a Wednesday, January 7, 2026, marketing seminar open to all dealers at the Florida United Numismatists convention, are online at www.PNGdealers.org/png-events. The free FUN dealer’s seminar, “Live Stream Coin Selling,” will be from noon to 2 pm with lunch included for attendees, and sponsored by eBay with participation by online marketplace Whatnot.

The Professional Numismatists Guild was founded in 1955, and all PNG members must follow a strict Code of Ethics in the buying and selling of numismatic merchandise. For additional information, contact PNG by phone at 951-587-8300 or by email at info@PNGdealers.org.
