PNG Schedules Dealers-Only Dealer Day for April 22, 2026, Ahead of 87th CSNS Convention
CoinWeek reported on January 27, 2026, that the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) will host a dealers-only PNG Dealer Day on April 22, 2026, in Schaumburg, Illinois. The event precedes the 87th Central States Numismatic Society (CSNS) Convention, scheduled for April 23-25, 2026. Admission is free for PNG members and $100 for non-member dealers.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the source, a CoinWeek report of January 27, 2026. The previous version mistranslated the guild's name in Japanese and added material not in the source, including claims about price discovery, inflation hedging, ESG, grading services, investment returns, projected transaction volumes and international attention; these have been removed. We added the eligibility rules, admission fees, venue, schedule and quotations given in the source. The previous headline was "PNG Dealer Day April 22, 2026: Pre-CSNS Private Trading Sets Rare Coin Price Discovery."
This article is based on a CoinWeek report published on January 27, 2026. The event it describes was scheduled for April 2026; dates and fees below are as announced at the time of the report.
The Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) announced that it will host a dealers-only PNG Dealer Day on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, in conjunction with the 87th annual Central States Numismatic Society (CSNS) Convention.
The CSNS Convention will follow from April 23 through April 25, 2026, in Schaumburg, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago. PNG Dealer Day will take place one day before the convention's public opening.
Who Can Attend
PNG Dealer Day is open to PNG member-dealers. CSNS member-dealers are also eligible to participate.
According to PNG Executive Director John Feigenbaum, the participation structure mirrors that of the previous year. "As we did with the 2025 PNG–Central States Dealer Day, this year's event will again be open for all PNG member-dealers and to CSNS member-dealers who are table holders for the 2026 show, as well as other CSNS member-dealers who want to purchase an admission pass," Feigenbaum said.
He also said that last year's PNG Dealer Days at Central States and the Whitman Baltimore Expo "were resoundingly successful, and we look forward to the events this year."
CSNS President Mitch Ernst said: "Our partnership with PNG is a dynamic fusion of the professional side of the hobby community for the benefit of collectors. Without professional, knowledgeable dealers, the hobby community would not learn and grow."
Admission and Requirements
Admission depends on membership status:
- PNG members: free - Non-member dealers: $100
Dealers who do not hold tables at the CSNS show must present proof of a tax identification number to purchase admission. The bourse application for PNG members is available online, and an application for non-PNG member dealers is also available.
Venue and Schedule
Both PNG Dealer Day and the CSNS Convention will be held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center, 1551 North Thoreau Drive, Schaumburg, Illinois. Discounted rooms are available at the adjoining Renaissance Hotel for $179 per night, plus applicable taxes. Parking is free at both the hotel and the convention center.
PNG Dealer Day will end at 4:00 PM on April 22. CSNS convention table holders may then set up between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. CSNS Convention Manager Cindy Wibker said table holders can set up "with no waiting to enter the exhibit hall."
