The annual PAN shows have grown each year, and are among the best regional shows in the country. The typical show has up to 150 tables of dealers and 3,300+ walk-in attendance.
| Location, Location, Location | In case you missed it we are back at the New Pittsburgh Expomart in Monroeville for October 2009 and beyond. We have nice nearby hotels, restaurants, and shopping nearby. |
| Free Parking | Plenty of free parking for you and your customers. |
| Publicity, Publicity, Publicity | While facility rent and security costs consume the lion's share of each PAN Show budget, most of the remainder is reserved for publicity. We advertise extensively in the numismatic press, local newspapers, and send Press Releases to every newspaper, TV, and radio station for miles around. We send flyers to all club-sponsored coin shows in Ohio, PA, Maryland and West Virginia. |
| And for all dealers. | We will again have donuts and free soda/snacks. |
| Marketing | For years we have steadfastly accumulated a mailing
list of every collector who's registered for our show. Before each show
we target these collectors with a special postcard reminder. (NOTE:
this is the ONLY use of this mailing list).
The card serves as an "express registration" form. We know it works because we collect hundreds of these each day at the registration table. PAN showgoers are repeat customers. |
| Membership | You must be an individual PAN member to set up or man a table at the shows. The membership requirement ensures that all dealers will be kept informed of club and show news via The Clarion. Click here for a membership application. |

| Donations for Young Numismatists | PAN's Young Numismatist programs require a steady
supply of coins, coin books, Whitman folders, and other items to be
given away to kids.
PAN's Coins for A's program encourages youngsters to learn about numismatics by distributing free coins to students as a reward for receiving A's on their report cards. Modelled after a similar program started by the Texas Numismatic Association, Coins for A's has proved to be quite popular with youngsters across Pennsylvania. Got any surplus stock to donate? Or would you like to make a cash donation? Click here for a donation form. |
