The Chattanooga Show March 4-6, and The GNA Show are two of the best regional events in this area. If you click the GNA show link you'll also see information on the Whitman show in Atlanta. All these shows should be great!

Hmmm - I think Virginians are Yankees anyway

K6AZ

That's an insult, and I demand you take it back!

FC57Coins

OK OK fine - you also have tore up trucks in your front yard

K6AZ

Not in my yard, but several of the neighbor's yards.

Virgina is south of the Mason Dixon line.

That is an awesome show with cherrypicking aplenty.

What a wuss. I just drove to DC from Atlanta to buy a coin from Wayne Herndon. Richmond is 100 miles closer.

These are some good regional shows. Certainly worth a couple hundred mile drive.

Between those three shows and the Bessemer Show in July, and the Fall GNA show we should be quite satisfied with our coin urgings

I was there today. A brief report, since I'm not very good at this...

The bourse was PACKED! There were so many people it was difficult to move around. There was even a consistent line of at least 15 people at the concession stand! I witnessed lots of transactions taking place, not just lots of "browsers" looking at coins. I think this is a direct result of the recent Long Beach show. Many dealers' inventories were infused with new material from that show. Mostly, it was the usual: Morgans, early Commems, Morgans, gold, Morgans, and did I mention Morgans? It seemed to me that the rainbow-toned coin market might be slowing a bit, as many dealers' cases were overloaded with the stuff and it did not appear to be moving.

On a personal note, I did manage to upgrade three of the halves in my Barber set (no key dates). As usual, there weren't many original midgrade Barber Halves to be found.
