Coin Shows - Nashville

MidLifeCrisis

Any regular coin shows - small or large - in the Nashville, TN area?

Didn't the ANA host a show in Nashville a couple of years ago? Are they planning to host more shows there?

There was a Whitman show in Nashville a couple of years ago.

The high sales tax (around 10%), plus the fact that it applied to the entire purchase price, was a BIG negative.

Dealers had to either: raise prices on their entire inventory, or not offer discounts off of their listed prices, or eat a huge hit to their profit margins.
As you might imagine, dealers weren't real happy about this.

I don't think Whitman plans to return to Tennessee in the near future.

The big Nashville flood of 2010 happened a few days before the Whitman show. It got to part of the convention center and I believe that scared a lot of people away.

The flood was a freak of nature...but I don't see the tax issue going away.

The high sales tax there with no breaks is a killer. I would not even want to be a coin collector living in the state for that reason.
