Looks pretty dead compared to the Hong Kong show.  Are shows in mainland China dying a slow death like those in the US.

Hi Peter, just note that there will be an "Inaugural Hong Kong Coin Show" in Aug this year (http://www.hongkongcoinshow.com/) - do you know how's this different from the usual one in Aug?

I was there, crowd was good. i believe(think) this picture was taken prior to vendors fully setting up.

I apologize for the photo. Here is another that reflects the attendance better. It was not as crowded as the Hong Kong Show - which is half watches, by the way. China's customs duties are stiff enough to discourage foreign dealers from attending so that limits what kind of material is available. However, it doesn't keep Chinese collectors away and my experience is that recent shows in China were pretty well attended, or at least no worse than in many prior years. The average age of the attendees is also much lower than in the USA.

Of course, nothing matches the 2011 Beijing BICE where a milling crowd practically fought to get in and the line for ticket holders was hundreds deep, but that was near a major market peak. Arif, I suspect that you may have omitted a question mark and are actually asking about Chinese shows instead of making a statement. What do other people think? Can other Forum members can share their impressions? This could be a very worthwhile discussion. Thanks in advance to all.

I attend 10+ shows a year in the US.In the last 3 years, you see the same dealers with the same stale inventory.

It's a new show that, I think, is connected to Stacks-Bowers. I heard that response from dealers is excellent and I look forward to attending. I may even share a table there with someone well-known. For me it will be part of a new China Pricepedia promotion, not to buy or sell coins.

You are correct I was asking the question, not making a statement.  I have never attended a mainland show for the very reasons you mentioned and probably never will.  Hong Kong is the ideal venue for commerce and you don't have to worry about customs arbitrarily taking your coins away or holding them ransom until you pay some duty.

It is nice to see young (under 50) attend the shows in China.  

Agree with you R3 the US shows are a waste of time, I rarely bring any inventory to display and anything good is almost always sold before the show starts. I no longer view shows as a marketplace to do business, but rather socialize with dealer and collectors. Online auctions will take over the industry in the next 20 years, if it hasn't already.

Thanks Peter.  Will be there.
