Courtesy Coin World magazine... here is a list of upcoming coin shows for the United States. (this is a new link)
http://www.coinworld.com/Marketplace/showcalendar.aspx
At the end of most listings is a "TA" followed by a number and either an "ADM" or an "FR".
The "TA" indicates the number of dealer tables at the show. A number in parentheses indicates how many of those tables are dedicated to coins (as opposed to stamps, baseball cards, etc). "Table Fees" are what the dealers pay to rent a table.
The "ADM" stands for admission charge. Some shows charge admission. If they know what the charge is, they'll post it. If not, it will just say "ADM". Expect to pay a few dollars per person.
"FR" means "free". No admission charged.

I've used that link for shows many times. I just never can figure out why that listing misses some shows in Illinois. For example on April 6, there is a coin shows at Lemont, Il. It is always on the first Sunday of every Month so it's not a odd or once in a while show. Same if you go to a Goolge search for Illinois coins shows. There they usually miss the Countryside one. Just odd. I've always wondered if there is something about paying for a listing or something.

Carl,
From the magazine:
"Listings in the Events Calendar are paid advertisements placed by clubs and show organizers who wish to publicize their events. ..."
You might have the club/organizer call Coin World at 800-488-5351. In the magazine they say it costs $11 per week to be in Coin World (and another $11 per week to be in Linn's Stamp News).
***I am not affiliated w/ Coin World in any way and I don't have any type of monetary interest etc in them. I'm just trying to help the hobby.***
Robert

I'm never sure why but this list always appears to leave out many Illinois coin shows.
For example no mention of the April 20th show at Itasca.
No mention of the 4 day show in Rosemont April 16th to 19th.
No mention of the 4 day International show April 25th to 27th at Rosemont, Illinois.

Shows are only listed if somebody involved in the show submits the ad to the magazine.

I work in Tinley Park IL. and there is a coin show there Thursday Sept 4 thru Saturday Sept. 6. So I might pop in Friday on my lunch hour. I am reading on the forum at vamworld.com that a few of the VAM guys will be at the show.

I was not able to attend the Tinley Park show, very sad about that. Looking at some posts in Vamworld.com, some of the guys there had alot of success cherrypicking Morgans.
