TSNS Show Report.

golden

The Tennessee State Numismatic Society holds a show each March and November at the Camp Jordan Arena in Chattanooga (East Ridge) located only one mile from the Georgia state line. There is plenty of free parking.
I left home just after daylight. Because of traffic jams, caused by road construction, I did not arrive at the show until 30 minutes after opening time. The parking lot had the most cars in it that I have ever seen. I had to park farther away than ever.
The show had a buzz and was more crowded than I have seen in a long time. I had brought two coins to sell to a certain dealer. I had forgot about the Baltimore show being held at the same time. He was at the Baltimore show. Darn.
There was a great amount of silver at the show. There were Eagles, rounds, one-ounce bars, circ Silver Dollars and more 100 -ounce bars than I have ever seen at a show. Eagles were priced at $29, Englehard bars were $28, circ Morgans were $30 and circ. Peace were $28. I saw one dealer hand a customer his silver (type unknown) purchase in a canvas bag that was about one third full.
Most dealers only had raw coins. I only collect coins in PCGS holders. There was only one dealer that had mostly PCGS slabs, but most of his coins were high grade Unc. and Proof coins. I did not see a single coin that I needed.

Sorry about not finding anything, seems like a nice show though.

Thanks for posting your show report.
Sounds like you had a decent experience overall.

One of the regular dealers at our monthly show was absent today, as he made the trip up to the Tennessee show. I’ll get his take when I see him next month.
And like you I struck out as well; I was thinking I was “one of those tire kickers” that searches every table but doesn’t spend any money….but I’m on good terms with most of them and enjoy chatting about the market, etc.

I forgot all about the TSNS show, it was always a good one to attend, something for everyone.
