PNNA Spring Convention & Coin Show
IMPORTANT NEWS!! The PNNA board of directors decided to move the PNNA Convention and Spring Coin Show from Tukwila to Portland due to the Washington State sales tax situation. The location will be the same as used by the Willamette Coin Club for last fall’s Portland show. The dates will be the same as planned for Tukwila, except the show will be on Saturday and Sunday only for the public.
PNNA Convention and Spring Coin Show (75th Annual) Portland, Oregon – April 11-12, 2026. (Dealer setup Friday evening.)
NEW LOCATION (for the 2026 show)!
Holiday Inn Columbia Riverfront, 909 N Hayden Island Dr., Portland, OR
For Dealers – Contact Scott Loos (Ph. 425-463-6551) for current status and bourse applications for all PNNA shows or download the 2025 spring bourse application here. (2026 application will be added when available.)
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.
Admission/Hours – Public show hours: Saturday 10 AM – 6 PM, Sunday 10 AM – 4 PM. Admission $5.00 per day. Children 12 and under are free, as are PNNA life members with photo ID badge. “Early Bird” admission (9 AM Sat/Sun) is $50.00. Prices subject to change.
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 2025 spring coin show. The list for this year should be posted about a week before the show.
Education/Exhibits – We expect there to be collector exhibits at the 2026 spring convention, and possibly Numismatic Theater presentations as well.
General Chairman’s Message by Kevin Charboneau: See Kevin’s message in the 2nd Q 2026 edition of The Nor’wester when available. Kevin is looking for a new convention general chair, and/or for additional show committee members to assist with various tasks. The Willamette Coin Club will also assist with the shows in Portland.
Grading Services – ANACS has continued to attend PNNA shows. A discount is available for certain U.S. coin submissions. The promo code is available on the ANACS website or in the ANACS advertisement in The Nor’wester. (See “Literature” below.) When an ANACS representative attends, the representative accepts submissions, but a grader is not present at PNNA shows.
Hotel info – will be posted when available, but likely will be the same as the show location (Holiday Inn Columbia Waterfront).
Literature – Free copies of The Nor’wester will be available at the 2026 show. This will be another 24-page full-color edition. Also see The Nor’wester online editions.
Meetings – A PNNA board meeting will likely be held at 8:00 AM on Saturday, and the annual PNNA general membership meeting will be held at about 6:15 PM after the bourse closes on Saturday.
Parking – Parking should be available at the Holiday Inn. More details will be posted if they become available.
Prizes and Souvenirs – Hourly door prizes. (Prizes are mailed to winners not present.) “Squished” or elongated cents will be available as souvenirs, thanks to the PNNA’s popular machine!
Scout Activities – A Scouting America Coin Collecting Merit Badge workshop will likely be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at about 1 p.m., in Portland at the annual convention and spring coin show. See the scouting page for the flyer when available. Scouting America (formerly BSA) programs are coeducational.
Security – The entry area at PNNA shows is under video surveillance. Your image may be recorded. These recordings could be shared with law enforcement in the event of an incident at the show. Registration for door prizes is optional. ID will be required to claim door prizes. See the PNNA privacy policy.
Youth Activities – Young Numismatist (YN) treasure hunt will be offered on Saturday and Sunday (April 11-12), as part of youth and family activities. See Young Numismatist (YN) program information. We hope that ANA Past President Walt Ostromecki will return to run the full program, but if not, local volunteers do a great job too!
If you would like to volunteer to help at any future PNNA show, or have questions or would like more information, please send an email to Kevin at kcharboneau58@comcast.net. Questions of a more general nature (not show-specific) can also be emailed to info@pnna.org.
