Hope to see everyone there!
2022 FNS Coin Show a Success!
We completed our annual Fresno Numismatic Society Coin Show in October 2022 (10/21 & 10/22) which was presented at the American Legion Post 509 in Fresno. This show was organized and conducted by the Society and by most accounts went very well. Dealers and attendees were happy and FNS raised enough cash to finance our club activities through 2023. We are planning for another show next October and with luck, planning, and hard work we should be able to make it an even bigger success.
FNS Ready For Another Great Show
The annual FNS Coin Show for 2023 is planned for October 27 & 28 (Friday and Saturday) at American Legion Post 509. The location is 3509 North First Street, Fresno CA 93726. We expect an outstanding assortment of dealers and are looking forward to a really excellent show.
Details to follow.
Auction Policies
Please keep in mind these basic rules about our monthly coin auctions:
1) For our traditional auctions (conducted by FNS), the Fresno Numismatic Society reserves the right to pay sellers by check. Sometimes we may not have enough cash on-hand; in that case, our Treasurer will pay the seller proceeds with an FNS check. Non-member buyers may not pay with a check. Cash only please! We have basically discontinued these traditional auctions. Instead, we will concentrate on Bid-Board or silent auction formats.
2) For traditional auctions FNS is required to collect California sales tax. The tax will be added to the hammer price.
3) For Bid-Board type auctions buyers and sellers directly complete all transactions. If your seller accepts a check that's fine! Bid-Board auctions are not conducted by FNS and no sales tax will be collected by FNS.
