Any body else got to this show, how was sat or sun


I went Friday and had a good time, but didnt buy much. I thought the show was not attended as well as I thought it would be, also the number of dealers were less than I expected. Couple of national dealers were present, and I think they did okay. I had a couple of avg everyday coins $3 gold, $20 common libs , and few type, and commems with me too sell, but buying prices seemed soft, so they came back with me.

The one thing I notice a lot of people buying were nicer quality PCGS MS-65 and 66 Morgans, and there was a bunch of them. The best coin I saw at the show was an 1823 /2 dime that wasn't for sale in PC 58.

ate some barbeque across the street at a famous place.

  • I attended Saturday and the turnout was very light and was also surprised at the lack of dealers.
    I was able to make a few purchases at good prices and saw some old friends.

    I would attend their show if they would move it later in the year. It is just too close to the Charlotte show date and geographic wise! I attended Hickory for years until they jacked the prices. Was always a marginal show due to the reasons stated above. Always the same faces at both shows!

    I would say that the retail traffic was a little light, but better than at Hickory last year. There were some serious buyers who attended as well.

    A few cool coins walked in, but mostly just "stuff" on the floor.

    I attended Sunday morning. It was very slow, but made it easy to look around quickly. Didn't buy much.

    Speaking to a few of the regulars, it was a slow show - Saturday morning was the busiest. Perhaps the attendance was due to the relocation to Greensboro, but who knows for sure...

    There were quite a few empty tables from dealers that took off late Saturday.

    I was away on a campus visit. Hate I missed it.
