Fall Toronto Coin Expo to be Cancelled

Dear Collector Community,

We know many of you have been awaiting this update and would like to thank you for your patience.

The City of Toronto is taking the re-opening phase slowly & cautiously, doing their best to address immediate concerns related the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the current protocols at our Toronto event facility, the Toronto Reference Library is closed to social gathering events for the 2021 season. The in-person Toronto Coin Expo Fall show, scheduled for October 1-2, 2021, will not be held.

The Toronto Coin Expo prides itself on providing a hub for all of our numismatic community. The 2022 shows are scheduled for April 29-30 & September 30-October 1, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the Spring and Fall Coin Expo shows that will accentuate safety, security, and equality as we welcome new and past ven- dors and attendees to the numismatic community.

THE 2021 FALL AUCTIONS ARE ON

I would like to welcome Sean Isaacs from Alliance Coin & Banknote to the Toronto Coin Expo family, as he brings with him a few decades of numismatic experience, and maintains the Expo’s values of trust and integrity in the numismatic industry. Alliance will be running the Thursday night auction at the Fall Coin Expo shows, and the Bell’s will be running the Spring sale and Friday night fall auctions.

The Toronto Coin Expo is excited to be working with Brian Bell from Geoffrey Bell Auction and with our new auction partner, Sean Isaacs from Alliance Coin & Banknote, and both firms will be running the 2021 Toronto Coin Expo Fall auctions online in absence of the physical show September 30 & October 1 2021. Online coin and banknote auctions continue to be extremely popular with many rarities being offered and spectacular prices realized.
