Whitman Spring Coin Expo Returns to Baltimore Convention Center March 5-7, 2026

More than 200 independent dealers filled the bourse floor in Halls F and G at the Baltimore Convention Center, 1 West Pratt Street, as Whitman Expos staged the Whitman Spring Coin Expo March 5–7, 2026, drawing dealers, professional graders, auction houses and thousands of collectors to buy, sell, trade, and study rare coins and paper money. DiscoverBaltimoreCounty billed the event as a “landmark event in numismatics,” and CoinWeek described it as one of North America’s leading coin and collectibles conventions.

Whitman Brands’ chief operating officer Mike Pfeiffer framed the show as part of a broader market upswing. “There’s strong momentum across the hobby, from robust demand for rare coins and paper money to the excitement surrounding major Stack’s Bowers Galleries auction lots and the upcoming United States 250th Anniversary coinage,” Pfeiffer said. “The energy in the market is real, and we’re proud to create a place where collectors, dealers, and investors can come together and be part of it.” CoinWeek’s reporting emphasized that demand for scarce U.S. coins and historic currency continues to attract both traditional collectors and new market participants.

The convention’s auction and high-end market ties were visible in historical records and archives: Whitman Expos’ site highlights past Stack’s Bowers Galleries sales staged in Baltimore, including a spring 2022 auction that sold nearly $37 million in U.S. numismatic items. Those past figures underline why major regional expos such as Baltimore are described as increasingly important venues for price discovery and market transparency, with material on the bourse ranging from affordable collector coins to high-end rarities.

Practical details for attendees were sparse on full show hours but clear on access and family programming. DiscoverBaltimoreCounty lists March 5 hours as 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm; general admission for the public is free with a government-issued photo ID or photo identification. Whitman’s event pages include dealer registration, dealer lists, and a Kid’s Nook — the family area offering activities like coloring, a treasure box for exploration, and special numismatic giveaways designed specifically for kids. For questions, Whitman directed readers to info@whitmanexpo.com and lists its corporate address as Whitman Expos, 4001 Helton Drive, Florence, AL 35630.

Operational templates used by Whitman at other Baltimore shows offer context but are not identical to the spring listings. The Winter 2026 Expo schedule on Whitman’s site shows a “Show Opens to Early Birds ($100 fee)” entry in Halls A, B, and C for that November event; that $100 early-bird fee and the detailed Winter schedule are explicitly tied to the Winter show and are not confirmed for the March Spring Expo in the materials provided.

Local promotion tied the expo into Baltimore’s broader visitor economy: DiscoverBaltimoreCounty paired the show listing with nearby attractions and services including Bagel Works of Hunt Valley and Days Inn by Wyndham Towson, and the site’s photo captions included images labeled “Coin Show people,” “visitor guide cover,” and cultural touches such as “African American Art exhibit at the American Visionary Art Museum.”

Whitman Expos also published its Baltimore 2026 slate: Spring March 5–7, Summer June 11–13, and Winter November 12–14. As markets pivot toward the United States’ 250th Anniversary coinage, the Baltimore convention’s scale and history of high-value auctions position it as a focal point for collectors, dealers, and investors tracking price signals and liquidity in the numismatic market.
