Rare Coin, Currency and Jewelry Show at Ontario
by CK Shows Free
Admission for the Public
The Ontario Convention Center is set to glitter
when it hosts the Rare Coin, Currency and
Jewelry Show for the first time June 18-20.
Convention Center officials inked a three show
deal with the producers, CK Shows.
"People with an interest in coin collecting will
enjoy this event because of the variety, quality
and reliability of the dealers that will be
there," said Bob Brown, Ontario Convention
Center General Manager and CEO. "The show will
shine with gold, silver bars, diamonds, watches
and a plethora of other collectible and valuable
pieces; this is going to be a fun and
eye-opening event and I look forward to it
returning to the convention center again and
again."
Set to return December 17-19, the show is also
scheduled to be at the Ontario Convention Center
in June 2010. After passing through the city on
the way from Las Vegas, CK executives decided to
take look at Ontario as another spot for the
show.
"We've been studying the area for two years,
this is where everyone comes. In Ontario,
there's a future; it's a place where a lot of
people meet and do business in the Inland region
because of its hub of hotels and the airport,"
said Dawn Edwards, CK Shows Promotions
Executive. "There hasn't been a coin and jewelry
show of this magnitude in the Inland Empire for
25 years…I think this is going to be really
cool."
Produced by Las Vegas-based CK Shows (http://www.ckshows.com/),
the event will feature 200 dealers that sell,
buy and trade U.S. and World coins, currency,
jewelry, tokens, medals, bullion, ancient coins
and more. Collectors can also have their items
appraised for free. The American Numismatic
Association will also offer classes by Certified
Merit Badge Instructors who will teach Boy Scout
merit badge workshops for free. Admission to the
three-day event is free and open to the public.
Kids admitted with an adult will receive free
coins.
"Jewel-draped displays and coin-filled exhibits
will transform the Ontario Convention Center
into a shining oasis for visitors and
collectors," Brown said. "We are honored and
excited to have the show here for the first time
and believe this will be the start of a
beautiful chain of events."
