The Canadian Association of Numismatic Dealers (CAND) will open Canada’s 2026 numismatic calendar this Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 24–25, with its annual CAND Coin Show at the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel in downtown Hamilton.
The two-day event will bring together more than 30 professional dealers from across the country, offering collectors an opportunity to buy, sell and have material appraised while exploring a wide range of coins, medals, tokens, banknotes, and precious metals.
With gold and silver prices continuing a powerful upward surge, interest in bullion and related material has intensified across the collecting and investing community. Market watchers reported earlier this week that silver briefly exceeded 130 an ounce, while gold surged past 6,600 an ounce, drawing renewed attention to physical precious metals and the dealers who specialize in them.
CAND president Michael Findlay said the Hamilton show offers collectors a timely opportunity to engage directly with Canada’s professional numismatic community.
“This show is about bringing people together — collectors, dealers and families — to discover new finds, learn from experts and support the numismatic community,” Findlay said. “With the current strength in precious metals and continued interest across all areas of the hobby, there has rarely been a better time to attend a major Canadian coin show.”
Dealers from British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are expected to participate, many presenting new inventory assembled over the Christmas and early winter period. The show traditionally attracts collectors of all levels, from newcomers to advanced specialists.

Family-friendly programming remains a key feature of the event, with the return of the RCNA/CAND Youth Table. The interactive space is designed to introduce young collectors to numismatics and encourage hands-on learning under the guidance of experienced volunteers.
The Sheraton Hamilton Hotel, located at 116 King St. West, offers convenient underground parking through the connected Jackson Square Mall, making access to the bourse floor easy for visitors.
Show hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 on Saturday, while Sunday admission is free.
