Welcome to Fabulous Las VegasWhat is likely the first coin show to scheduled since the shutdowns for the COVID-19 pandemic was approved this week. The Vegas Pop Up Coin Show will be held on July 2-5 at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

According to the announcement, the show will have only 15 dealers and no more than 25 people staffing dealer tables. The dealers will occupy 24-foot booths to ensure that there is a six-foot distance between people.

Organizers will control the entry to ensure that no more than 50 people are in the room at the same time. All of these measures comply with Nevada’s social distancing regulations.

The organizer appears to have gone to great lengths to organize a coin show and meet the health requirements of the time. If there are any Coin Collectors Blog readers attend this show, I would be happy to post your report. Just contact me with your information.
