Click the U.S. Coin Shows link, then the month.

Primarily I check the individual web sites for coin shows I've
attended before. This doesn't need to be fancy, http://www.westfordcoinshow.com/
works. I don't go to every show and I want assurance (from an updated
web site) that the show is still on.

Many shows take names from door prizes and send postcards. Those are a
waste of money (when sent to me). I'd love an e-mail notice instead.

> local paper?

I take several papers, but I've never used them for finding coin
shows. Partly that is due to my area, the local papers I take only
cover my immediate area which has no coin shows. For the Boston Globe,
I don't normally look through the classified ads section so I wouldn't
know where to look for coin show information.

> nu news?

No

> coin world?

I buy one every few years and take a look. I occasionally look at the
listing on their web site.

> local/state club magazine?

No.

> internet coinshows.com?

About once a year I look for new shows in my area.

My most common approach (and will remain until I get a lot more money
and a lot more free time).

and if that doesn't work, I drive from town to town asking if there is a coin
show...

I tried that for a while, with absolutely no positive results. But then it
was always on a Monday afternoon...

Local dealer web sites may have listings of shows they are attending.

http://www.nickeltrader.com/shows.shtml

Local coin clubs also list coin shows they sponsor and shows in the
area.

http://southhillscoinclub.org/_wsn/page3.html

Regional and national shows can be found by reading the coin rags or may
be listed on their web sites.

I've found that Monday's are very slow.
Many people asked then have questioned the legitimacy of my antecedents.
