PNNA / WCC Fall Coin Shows
Beginning in 2020-21, separate fall shows were scheduled in Seattle (Tukwila) and Portland, with the PNNA sponsoring the Tukwila show and the Willamette Coin Club (WCC) sponsoring the Portland show.
It’s Over! We’ll see you again next year.
This year’s PNNA fall coin show was held October 6-8, 2023, in Tukwila. Most show details were similar to the 2022 show, except that the admission price increased (see below).

Education/Exhibits – There are outstanding collector exhibits at each PNNA convention/show. The location of the exhibits is in the fitness room across the hall from the bourse entrance, as at most past shows. We also streamed some lectures from ANA webinars in the exhibit room, however, there was not a separate live numismatic theater.
