Went to a gun show and ran across 4 coin tables. Picked up $10 face of walkers for $200, $7.50 in US gold for $600 and 14 generic rounds for $35.50 each! Quite happy on the coin front. I love gun shows, you can get the 4 G's in 1 stop

    Did you find any deals on guns? You don't have to answer that.

    I noticed around here used unpapered sell for about the price as new papered guns. How about where you are at?

    As for PM's, I haven't been as lucky as you. most I have seen want 25%+ above spot but they will buy for 10%- image

    Not sure what you mean by papered, if you mean filling out a 4473, or lack of filling out a 4473 I don't know. I don't track that, but I know of more than 1 fool who would buy guns, mark them up by 250% and sell them with a sign that said " "No ID, No Paperwork!" He is currently serving the better part of a 10 year package the BATF gave to him in Brownsville. Down here I see far to many MS_13 marked gang members buying guns in Spanish, multiple guns (AR's and AK's) along with their hommies and disappearing into the parking lot. I saw a newer HK-416 and HK-417 AR rifes and some cool class 3 stuff.

    Yup, registered gun dealers vs. gun collectors upgrading his collection. Though we have a huge agriculture economy, I have never seen any "hommies" at any of the shows. All the shows up here require you to show your driver’s license to buy a gun if buying from a “collector” or filling out the 4473.

    The Indian gold is one of my favorite designs, but I don't buy them raw -- except from an established local dealer -- because there are a lot of good fakes floating out there.

    TN, I love gun shows for the same reasons. In Seattle they had one a month - a big one too.... in fact the second largest in the nation. Out here (NYS) there is one a year.... and that is not as big as the one out west. Coins and guns do mix well though. Cheers, RickO

    Nice buy. I love those little 2.5 indians. I keep thinking I should put a circulated set of those together.

    Nice coins---especially the 1896-S $5 which is a scarcer date.

    It's a terrible choice of venue to try and sell fakes wouldn't you think ? image

    I've seen fake gold coins in the cases of smaller local dealers that I know to be totally honest. Sometimes even honest dealers get fooled.
