Summer Starts in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor with Whitman’s Coin & Currency Expo June 11–13, 2026

Known for its relaxed atmosphere and approachable footprint, the Summer Expo delivers the same excitement, discovery, and community collectors have come to expect from Whitman’s larger flagship events—bringing together dealers, collectors, investors, and families for three days of buying, selling, trading, and learning.

Open to the public with free admission (photo ID required), the Expo offers visitors access to hundreds of tables featuring rare coins, paper money, bullion, tokens, medals, and collecting supplies. Guests can also enjoy educational club meetings, family-friendly activities, auction lot viewing, and opportunities to connect with independent dealers and numismatic experts from across the country.

“This show may be smaller in footprint than our Spring and Winter Expos, but it’s every bit as enjoyable and energetic,” said Christy Burbank, General Manager of Whitman Expos. “The Summer Expo has a unique atmosphere that makes it especially welcoming for collectors of all experience levels. Whether you’re searching for a major rarity, building your first collection, exploring the hobby with family, or simply enjoying the community, there’s truly something here for everyone.”
