Iowa Coin Shows 2026

Iowa hosts coin shows primarily in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, and Dubuque. The Iowa Numismatic Association is the primary statewide organization and hosts an annual convention typically in the summer. Iowa shows draw dealers from the broader Midwest circuit and feature a good mix of type coins, key-date Lincoln cents, and pre-1933 gold. The Quad Cities area (Davenport-Bettendorf) benefits from cross-river attendance from Illinois collectors.
