PCGS Set Registry Presents:

By a seeming miracle, an 1880 Proof Set of unrivaled eminence has survived inclusive of not just all 14 of its original coins but also two rare gold patterns that have mesmerized collectors for generations. This unmatched assemblage is the making of numismatic dreams – a pristine panorama of United States coinage struck during the dawning of the pioneering 1880s. The set’s quality is unquestionable, its beauty undeniable. From Indian Cent to Liberty Head Double Eagle, as well as the elusive 1880 Coiled Hair and Flowing Hair Stellas, this unparalleled collection represents one of the most vivid chapters of United States coinage history.

Long Beach Stamp Club Kids Korner (Booth 453)

In 1985, the Long Beach Stamp Club established a program for encouraging kids to become interested in stamp collecting as a hobby. At this time, our program is committed to having stamps for young collectors to collect and enjoy. Among other activities, the Long Beach Stamp Club Kids Korner helps kids increase their knowledge of the hobby, and we will raffle off a starter collection that a young collector can use to build a beautiful collection.

The Youth & Family Coin Experience Zone (Booth 458)

Each Long Beach Expo features a hands-on educational outreach booth that has been a part of the show since the mid-1980s. It offers many educational activities and free giveaways to start young collectors off on their collecting journey.

The Walt Ostromecki Youth Activities Corner booth also provides a multitude of free educational literature to encourage young collectors, families, scouts, and adults that will aid them to learn and grow in the hobby as well as local coin club meeting information and FREE coin appraisal service.

The Long Beach Coin Club (Booth 457)

The Long Beach Coin Club (LBCC) began in 1950 and has been fully active ever since. The LBCC is a non-profit educational and numismatic membership organization open to all ages. We promote and encourage the study and appreciation of numismatics and related subjects as a hobby for all collectors.
Our goal is to provide an organized outlet for disseminating information by word of mouth, speakers, open forums, and written publications. We are numismatic mentors, where we help new collectors through the maze of numismatics so fewer mistakes are made in their quest to collect or discover areas of interest.
