Yeah, stopped in for a quick check. On my way to work. So I decided to only stay for 1 hour. Quick summary. Got there as soon as it opened so hard to determine what the show really was like. From what I witnessed, not too many tables. Like I said, maybe too early and bec.the first day? I just about ran through to cherry pick. Ididpickupsomething. Not a blockbuster but at least it's something. I'll head back tomorrow I'm off work.Here check it out. What do you guy's think?

Only paid, $6🙄

Not too many tables ?need better job getting word out about show....or is there less interest in collecting coins?

IL Weather was tough from midday Wednesday through much of Thursday daylight. Bad road conditions. Black ice on roads too.

Also see earlier forum thread about the two competing Tinley Park shows.

1970-S Kennedy was once deemed a better date, as was the even scarcer 1970-D Kennedy. Both were formerly higher prices than today.

Thanks for the report. Nice coin!

Thanks guy's! Yeah, there could be a number of reasons for the lack of tables empty. Also, the tables could have been sold but no occupancy,at least while I was there? To let you know, there was a pretty good crowd though. Tough to maneuver about because of the crowd, that's a good sign! Yes, the weather was a bit icy and cold as well. What I can tell you about a few tables, I enjoy the tables that allow you to sit and go through their boxes of different denominations. Pretty generous, I think? Same with all the boxes containing Proof Sets/Mint Sets. I love picking through them. That's how I find most of my Cherry picks. Many tables i noticed with a vast amount of ancient Foreign coins, interesting. Tons of Silver Eagles, everywhere! Raw and slabbed. Barry Gold, I think that's his name. Many high grade Morgans! Beautiful. Now that I'm home, my memory is more clear than earlier today. I only gave you guy's a rough and short report than. Tomorrow, I'll spend a little more time there. Check back later. Before I left today. The last table I asked If they had any "Dateless Buffalos"? He replied, " no, what do people want with those things anyway, jewelry?" I laughed. Wasn't going to give it away but I felt I should. When I told him, he looked puzzled. LOL
