Welcome to the LONG BEACH EXPO
Greetings! We are so excited to welcome you to the Long Beach Expo – a tradition for collectors throughout Southern California and beyond. We proudly kick off another year of the Long Beach Expo, which began in 1964 and is held three times each year at the Long Beach Convention Center. Thousands converge here every expo to buy, sell, and trade collectibles. The Long Beach Expo is the largest show of its kind on the West Coast, drawing people from all over the United States.
In addition to hosting hundreds of vendors who deal in coins, banknotes, trading and sports cards, sports memorabilia, stamps, and so much more, the Long Beach Expo has unique attractions in store for everyone here. Among the highlights of this Long Beach Expo is the exhibition of the Tyrant of the New World, showcasing for the first time at this event its impressive collection of Mexican and Brazilian coinage from a fascinating age of exploration. One of the biggest events being held in conjunction with the show is the multimillion-dollar Heritage Auctions Signature Auction #1357, a favorite tradition that attracts active online bidding. Lot viewing will be ongoing at Booth 1002, with the sale occurring February 9 -12.
We are very proud to host the United States Mint on the bourse floor, offering collectors a rare West Coast opportunity to buy newly minted coins right from the source. Collectors can walk their mint-direct coins over to the PCGS at Booth #401 for onsite grading, ensuring their new acquisitions receive the best protection and to help ensure maximum value. Be sure to take advantage of onsite PCGS banknote grading for Express Service Level and above. All show services are available for U.S. and World coins.
Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) at Booth #1059 will be accepting take-home submissions for cards, autographs and now Funko Pops! at LBE! Take-home submissions are accepted at the show and brought back to PSA headquarters for processing. Once completed, they then ship the submission back to you. Visit the submission lounge to get help filling out your submission form.

Tyrant
Collection’s Historic Mexican And Brazilian Coins
At February Long Beach Expo
Tyrants of the New World exhibit features 197 superb-quality Latin American coins publicly exhibited together for the first time
Important early coins of Mexico and Brazil from the unparalleled Tyrant Collection are on public display together for the first time. Entitled “Tyrants of the New World,” this is the latest multimilliondollar exhibition in a multi-year series of different displays showcasing portions of the extensive and unprecedented Tyrant Collection. Owned by Southern California collector Dan O’Dowd, it is described as the world’s most valuable rare coin collection in private hands.
“The big exhibit will be divided into two distinct sections: The Tyrants of the Amazon and The Tyrants of Lake Texcoco,” explained Ira Goldberg, president of Goldberg Coins and Collectibles, Inc. in Los Angeles, California. Goldberg is one of the numismatic professionals providing guidance in assembling the wide-ranging Tyrant Collection of superb quality, historic U.S., World, and ancient coins.
“There has never been such an important public exhibit of Latin American coins in Southern California,” he stated.
The Tyrants of New World exhibit showcases how Latin America was divided between the Portuguese tyrants who ruled Brazil and the Spanish tyrants who ruled the rest of Latin America.
The Tyrants of the Amazon is a collection of coins issued by the tyrants who have ruled the Amazon. The objective of this portion of the set is to find the biggest, nicest-looking, highestcondition portrait gold coin for each tyrant.
The Tyrants of Lake Texcoco collection is a type set of coins from the Mexico City Mint. The objective is to find the finest representative of each coin denomination for each tyrant there. If there is more than one major coin design in a reign, then there is a representative of each denomination for each major design.
“The coinage from the many Spanish royal mints in Latin America were all very similar,” explained Goldberg. “The Mexico City Mint was chosen because it is the oldest and most productive Spanish mint in Latin America.”
Highlights Of The Exhibit Include:
• A silver “R” 3 Reales of Charles and Johanna dating back to 1536, the first year of the Mexico City Mint, VF25
• Mexico, 1689/8 MO L, silver Royal 8 Reales, Charles II (1665-1700), AU53
• Mexico, 1714 MO J, gold “Royal” 8 Escudos, Philip V (1700-1746), MS66
• Mexico, 1711 MXO J, gold “Royal” 4 Escudos, Philip V (1700-1746), MS65
• Mexico, 1733 MO F, gold 8 Escudos, Philip V (1700-1746), MS64
• Mexico, 1822 MO JM, silver 8 Reales, Augustin Iturbide I (1822-1823), PR63
• Mexico, 1822 MO JM, Silver 8 Reales, Augustin Iturbide I (1822-1823), MS62
• Mexico, 1823 MO JM, gold 8 Escudos, First Republic, AU55
• Brazil, 1646, gold 6 Florins (Guilders), Dutch Government of Permambuco (1630-1654), MS62
• Brazil, 1703 R (Rio), gold 4000 Reis, Peter II (1683-1706), MS66
Visitors to the February 2023 Long Beach Expo exhibit (booth #910) can receive a free, illustrated educational booklet about this latest, amazing display. Detailed catalogs with information and illustrations about each coin in the “Tyrants of the New World” exhibit will be available for $10 each.
