Fall 2026 Coin Shows and Clubs in the Phoenix Metro

Show calendars list a coin show on most weekends in the Phoenix metro from mid-October to Christmas. Most are free one-day shows with 20 to 30 tables. On top of that there are at least two clubs that meet monthly and welcome beginners. This calendar lists the fall 2026 dates we could confirm, when the clubs meet, and what to bring so a Saturday morning at a bourse is worth it.

Every date below was checked on 28 September 2026 against the organizer's own page where one exists, or against a published show calendar where it does not. Small shows change dates and venues more often than large ones, so confirm before you drive across the Valley.

The fall 2026 show calendar

Camelback Collectibles Coin Show — Sundays

Show calendars list this Sunday show in October, November and December at the El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium off 40th Street, with free admission and free parking. At the time of writing, the organizer's own site still showed its June date, with hours of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The October, November and December dates above come from the Phoenix show calendar, which lists more than 30 dealers. Call the organizer before you go.

Four Peaks Coin Club Fall Coin Show — October 17

The Four Peaks Coin Club has confirmed its fall show for October 17, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Greek Orthodox church on East Cactus Road in Scottsdale. More than 20 dealer and collector tables are expected. The club also runs coin raffles and silent auctions and offers free evaluations. Admission and parking are free. Children under 16 must come with an adult.

Northwest Valley Coin & Card Show — monthly, Saturdays

Held at the DoubleTree on Metro Parkway, this show runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with about 30 tables and free admission. It mixes coins and currency with sports cards, comics and toys. That makes it a good first show for a family, and a less focused one if you are hunting a particular date. Of the shows with a published venue, it is the closest to our Peoria store.

Phoenix Coin Club Coin Show — Thanksgiving weekend

Show calendars list a two-day Phoenix Coin Club show in Mesa over Thanksgiving weekend, November 28–29. Show calendars list admission at $2. It is the only two-day show on this fall's calendar, so it is the one to plan a longer visit around.

Arizona Territorial Coin Club Show — December 5

The Arizona Territorial Coin Club has announced its second annual show for December 5, 2026. When we checked, the venue, hours and admission had not yet been published on the club's site.

Coin clubs that meet every month

A show is a day out, but a club is where many collectors learn the hobby. Meetings usually include a short talk, a buy-sell-trade session and people who already know the series you are just starting.

• Arizona Territorial Coin Club, Phoenix. Meets on the second Monday of each month at 6 p.m., with a youth meeting at 5 p.m., at Desert Christian Fellowship Church, 1445 W. Northern Ave. The club says about thirty members attend a typical meeting.
• Four Peaks Coin Club, Fountain Hills. Meets on the second Tuesday of each month, 6 to 8 p.m., with buy-sell-trade from 5 p.m., at the Emerson Art Gallery, 16930 E. Palisades Blvd. Membership for members 17 and under is free.
• Phoenix Coin Club. The club behind the Mesa show. See its website for meeting details.

What to bring to a coin show

Bring a want list, a loupe, a way to pay and something to carry coins home in. Everything else is optional. Here is what each item does for you.

• Your gaps, written down. The dates, mintmarks and minimum grades still missing from your set. Hand it across the table and a dealer can tell you in seconds whether to keep looking.
• A loupe, 5x to 10x. It is enough to see hairlines, rim damage and signs of cleaning on a raw coin.
• A price reference. A current price guide or app, so you can compare an asking price against something other than the dealer's sticker. Remember that guide prices assume a grade, and a raw coin's grade is an opinion until it is certified.
• A way to pay. Payment methods vary from table to table, so settle that question first.
• Holders. A few spare flips or capsules keep a raw purchase from rattling against its neighbors on the drive home.
• If you are selling: a written inventory by date and mintmark, coins left in the holders they came in, and no polishing. Collectors and graders can see a cleaned surface, and it usually counts against the coin.

A few habits that make you welcome at a table

Ask before you pick up a raw coin, and hold it by the edges over the table, never over the aisle. Ask before you photograph a dealer's inventory. If a dealer is in the middle of a deal, wait. Slabbed coins are easier to handle, and the certification number lets you look up the coin on the grading service's own site. That is worth doing for anything expensive, and our guide to reading a population report shows how to go further.

Selling coins at a show, or at a shop

Both have real advantages. A bourse puts buyers who each focus on a few series in one room, so a Barber half or a Carson City dollar can draw competing offers in a single morning. The trade-off is pace: offers come quickly, across a folding table, often on raw coins graded by eye.

At a shop you have time and a counter you can come back to. On the face of the statute, Arizona's precious-item law excludes coins, so the ID and check-only rules written for scrap jewelry do not attach to a coin sale, though a city ordinance can add requirements. We explain that split in why an Arizona shop asks for your ID and pays by check. Before either kind of sale, it helps to know a coin's melt value, because it tells you what the metal alone is worth on the day, which gives you a reference point for any offer.

Where Copper State fits in

Shows are mostly on weekends, and both of our stores are open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. as well as weekdays. We offer a complimentary appraisal for sellers, so you can find out what you have before you carry it to a bourse. If a show turns up nothing on your want list, send us the list and our team will let you know when we locate an item on it. Ask us about how the service works. Between shows, our rare US coins page shows what is in stock. If you are new to grading, start with our coin grading guide for beginners.

Frequently asked questions

When is the next coin show in Phoenix?

The Camelback Collectibles Coin Show is listed for Sunday, October 11, at the El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, and it repeats on November 15 and December 13. The Four Peaks Coin Club show follows on October 17 in Scottsdale, and the Northwest Valley show on October 24. Confirm with each organizer before you go, since small-show dates can move.

Do Phoenix-area coin shows charge admission?

Most of them do not. The Camelback, Four Peaks and Northwest Valley shows all list free admission, and Camelback and Four Peaks also offer free parking. The Phoenix Coin Club's Thanksgiving weekend show in Mesa lists a $2 admission. The Arizona Territorial Coin Club had not published admission for its December 5 show when we checked.

What should a beginner bring to a coin show?

A short want list, a 5x or 10x loupe, a price guide or app, and a few flips or capsules to carry purchases home. Ask each dealer how they take payment before you negotiate. Most important of all, set a budget before you walk in. A first show has more on offer than any beginner needs.

Are there coin clubs in Phoenix for kids?

Yes. The Arizona Territorial Coin Club runs a youth meeting at 5 p.m., before its regular meeting on the second Monday of the month. The Four Peaks Coin Club offers free membership to members 17 and under, who must attend with an adult. A club meeting is a patient place for a young collector to ask questions.

Can I sell coins at a coin show?

Yes. Most dealers at a show buy as well as sell, and you can ask several tables for an offer on the same coin. Bring a written list, leave coins in their holders, and know the melt value of anything made of gold or silver. Offers made at a table are usually quick, so it helps to know what the coin is worth before the show.
