(Chicago, IL) December 19, 2024. In September, Coin World magazine and Shepherd Expos Management launched the brand-new Great American Coin & Collectibles Show. The show, based in Tampa, FL, saw the issuance of over 500 badges to dealers who showcased their wares on an (admittedly oversized) bourse for thousands of attendees to peruse despite the sweltering heat. The public was able to choose the access pass that made the most sense for them amongst a variety of offerings.

At the show, ambitious plans were unveiled for TWO shows in 2025: Fort Lauderdale, Florida in April and Chicago, Illinois in September. In order to maximize production & turnout, the operators have sinced decided to combine the resources from both 2025 shows into ONE. That show will take place September 25-27 in Chicago at the Donald H. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, IL, as previously announced.

While this means the 2025 April Fort Lauderdale show is cancelled in 2025, the operators do anticipate a return to the Florida market very soon. In the meantime, they plan to shift all the anticipated events, activities and guest panelists from the FLL show to the Chicago show, resulting in a net addition effectively doubling the resources and setting the stage for a BIG show in the windy city.

The Chicago 2025 GACCS show takes place September 25-27 in Chicago at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, IL. Interested attendees and dealers can sign up for updates at www.GACC.show and look forward to future announcements posted there and on Coin World social media pages on platforms like Facebook, X and Instagram.

The late-summer timing of the show presents an opportunity for guests to enjoy idyllic Chicago weather as well as world-class amenities in and around the well-known convention center. In addition to being no stranger to numismatic conventions, the venue boasts convenient proximity and transportation options to and from O'Hare International Airport and other Chicagoland destinations.
