Terms of Use

Effective Date: April 15, 2026 Last Updated: August 24, 2026

Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the Coin Show Near Me website located at coinshownearme.com (the “Site”), including all subdomains, pages, tools, services, and features offered through the Site (collectively, the “Platform”). The Platform is operated by Coin Show Near Me (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.


1. Platform Description and Role

1.1 Information Directory

The Platform currently operates as an informational directory of coin shows, numismatic conventions, related events, and dealer listings across the United States. It also provides educational tools and forms for show submissions, listing corrections or removal requests, reminder interest, and dealer listing or claim requests.

The Platform does not currently provide user accounts, collection uploads, pre-show offer requests, dealer bidding, appraisal, escrow, or transaction services.

1.2 We Are Not a Party to Transactions

THE PLATFORM IS AN INFORMATION DIRECTORY. WE ARE NOT A PARTY TO ANY TRANSACTION, AGREEMENT, OFFER, COUNTER-OFFER, APPRAISAL, PURCHASE, SALE, TRADE, OR EXCHANGE THAT A VISITOR CHOOSES TO PURSUE INDEPENDENTLY.

We do not buy, sell, appraise, authenticate, grade, or take possession of any coins, currency, bullion, collectibles, or other items (“Items”). We do not request or relay dealer offers and do not guarantee or endorse any independent appraisal, valuation, dealer, or transaction.

1.3 No Fiduciary Relationship

No fiduciary, agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is created between us and any user of the Platform.


2. Submissions and Dealer Claims

2.1 No Current User Accounts

The Platform does not currently provide user accounts. Show submissions, listing-review requests, reminder-interest requests, and dealer listing or claim requests are form submissions, not account registrations.

2.2 Accuracy of Information

You represent and warrant that all information you provide through forms or other use of the Platform is truthful, accurate, current, and complete. You agree to update your information promptly if it changes.

2.3 Manual Dealer Claims and Verification

Dealer submissions and claims are reviewed manually. Submitting a form does not publish, claim, or verify a listing automatically.

Claimed means a representative relationship passed manual review. Verified means displayed public business information was independently checked. Neither label is an endorsement or guarantee, and payment or promotion does not affect either state.

Dealer public contact details may be displayed only when voluntarily submitted for publication or verified from a public source. Private review contact information is not published automatically.


3. No Current Offer or Appraisal System

3.1 No Seller Intake or Dealer Routing

The Platform does not accept seller collection submissions, route seller contact details to dealers, or request, provide, or relay dealer offers or appraisals.

3.2 Educational Tools

The melt-value calculator and other educational materials provide estimates and general information only. They are not appraisals, offers, guaranteed sale prices, or financial advice.

3.3 Future Services

If an account, collection-upload, or offer service is introduced later, the applicable workflow, disclosures, privacy terms, and consent requirements must be reviewed and published before activation. Describing a possible future feature does not promise that it will launch.


4. Limitation of Liability

4.1 No Liability for Transactions

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY, CLAIM, OR LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY TRANSACTION, INTERACTION, COMMUNICATION, MEETING, OFFER, APPRAISAL, PURCHASE, SALE, TRADE, EXCHANGE, OR DISPUTE BETWEEN ANY USERS OF THE PLATFORM.

This includes, without limitation:

  • Financial losses from sales at prices below market value
  • Losses from fraud, misrepresentation, or theft by any user
  • Damage to or loss of Items before, during, or after any transaction

4.2 General Limitation

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

4.3 Aggregate Cap

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD).


5. Indemnification
