I went to the Lansing Mich coin club show today

Lansing is about 125 miles from my home, so this is a fair drive getting to a coin show.
I haven't went to their show in quite a while, and hoped I might find something to add to my collection of Liberty Seated Quarters.
I found the pickins awful slim.
Very few dealers had any. I would guess there were less than 50 Seated Quarters total at the show, all common, almost all low grade.
I looked at every Seated Quarter there, and didn't find anything I wanted.
There seemed to be a lot of Morgan and Peace Dollars, a quite a number of them in slabs. I didn't look to see if there were any better dates available.
There was an good assortment of nice type coins in a couple dealers cases. Someone looking to fill a type set would have had a good chance to find something for their collection.
One dealer had a lot of Barber Halves. All I saw were circulated but the prices seemed quite fair.
After browsing for a while and not finding anything I wanted, I started visiting with some of the dealers.
I was Bourse Chairman for the Muskegon Mich coin club for a dozen years, and I know a lot of the dealers that were there, as many came to my shows.
I spent quite a while talking with them. It was great.
The common thread in the conversations I had, was that things are slowing down on the bourse.
I could see that from the poor turnout there today.
I didn't see anyone selling any gold or silver bullion to the dealers.
Maybe everyone is expecting PMs to go back up.
I made the trip back empty handed, but I enjoyed the day anyway.

Its a show I usually like to attend but I couldn't get away.

Thanks for the report.

Two trips to Lansing in the last week was enough for me. And it sounds like the show was a bust anyway. Better luck at the MSNS show in Dearborn in November.

Thanks for the report. There was not a ot of bullion for sale in Sacramento. I think there is a lot of "waiting for prices to go back up" going on.

Thanks for the report. Too bad you didn't find anything to buy, but with the Michigan State show coming up in November, you'll have extra funds on hand, and you should do better there.
