Savannah, Ga. coin show Sept. 22-23. Anyone here going?.............UPDATE >> Show cancelled!

At the Mighty 8th Airforce museum near Pooler on I-95.

UPDATE: Yeah, after driving to Savannah and rolling up in the near empty parking lot, I went inside and asked the Info desk lady where the coin show was to which her reply was "It was cancelled." No other reason. No warning. That's it. image

The folks putting on the show advertise on here heavily in the boxes above and below the main page threads and "don't want you to get taken for a ride"©. I wonder how many other folks drove a good ways to an empty building?

Rant over.

    30-50 dealers I think. Smaller show. Same folks putting it on (Low Country Coins) but at a different venue this year. I recommend doing the Museum tour while you're there.

    Wish I had found this thread sooner image

    I'm in Atlanta and likely would've gone as my wife and I had no plans Friday-Saturday. Spent my Friday afternoon shooting arrows with an old friend and eating burritos.

    Thanks for posting! Please remind us next year if they repeat!

    I was in that part of Georgia over the weekend. Did the promoter explain why the show was cancelled?

    Wow - that's a bummer, Wes.
    Can you make the J-ville show? It's not that much further.
    Or just save up for FUN - that won't get cancelled......moved maybe, but NEVER cancelled.

    The JAX show was the same weekend so that may be why they decided not to have it. That's what a coin dealer said that has a B&M shop right down the road from where the show was supposed to be.

    The promoter didn't have any cancellation notice on their website.

    Those guys you are talking about have also ruined what used to be one of my better shows.....Charleston,SC

    The promoters showed up on the seen with a new shop in town 3 or 4 years ago....had the bourse chairman working for them...and wallah! They have the best tables at the show their 1st time there! The bourse chairman thinks he can make the show the next FUN show in Charleston! Yeap...I won't be back after setting up their for 15 or more years twice a year! They are now renting a room to house 100 or more dealers and have lost 25% of the base dealers! Don't think he ever passed 50 dealers...used to be a 20-40 table show.They also direct everyone to them from the entrance that has something forsale! Yeap...some of the club members are furious but I bet the show goes bust!
