Whitman Expos™ Baltimore Winter Expo Draws Thousands of Collectors and Enthusiasts

The Whitman Expos Winter Coin Expo returned to the Baltimore Convention Center November 6–8, 2025, drawing thousands of attendees and dealers for three days of trading, discovery, and community. Recognized as one of the premier numismatic events in North America, the Expo once again brought together collectors, investors, and hobby enthusiasts from across the country.

Throughout the weekend, showgoers explored hundreds of exhibitor booths, viewed historic treasures, and connected directly with experts shaping today’s coin and collectibles marketplace.

On Friday, November 7, authors Dr. Fred Bart and Bianca Bart met with fans and collectors at Booth #135 to sign copies of their newly released United States Paper Money Errors, 5th Edition. The updated full-color reference features more than 550 photos, detailed grading and pricing information, the Friedberg Numbering System, rarity guides, and new production data from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Greysheet-Whitman Publishing recorded live podcast sessions from the bourse floor, giving attendees a front-row seat to conversations with some of the hobby’s most respected figures. Guests included Don Kagin, David McCarthy, Shannon Rajkitkul, Allen Rowe, Noah Lehmann-Haupt, and John Feigenbaum, who discussed everything from market trends to recent numismatic discoveries.

The Stack’s Bowers Galleries lot viewing drew steady crowds with a display of multimillion-dollar rarities and Maryland historical currency. Headliners included a newly discovered 1804 dollar—the legendary “King of American Coins”—alongside two monumental $50 gold coins, a Gold Rush-era ingot salvaged from the 1857 shipwreck of the S.S. Central America, and colonial and Revolutionary-era Maryland issues connecting local and national history.

The United States Mint drew visitors throughout the show for the release of the 2025 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, the Comic Art Superman Silver Medal, and the 250th- Anniversary Commemorative Coins honoring both the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy.

Whitman Expos continued its commitment to inspiring the next generation of collectors with free youth programming for ages 6–12, including Fill Your Album, Coin Grab, Coin Coloring, and goodie bags sponsored by participating dealers. Scouts earned merit credits in Saturday’s coin workshop while learning the basics of coin design, minting, and U.S. history.

“The Whitman Winter Coin Expo is where history, learning, and community meet,” said Lori Kraft, General Manager of Whitman Expos. “Every conversation—whether it’s about a rare discovery or a child’s first coin—reminds us why Baltimore is such a special home for this event.”
