Best and biggest coin shows in the Southeast?

What are the biggest and best shows in the Southeast, aside from the obvious (FUN)? I'm talking about regional shows, mainly.

Early American Copper, Bust and Seated.

    I couldn't agree more about the Dalton shows. I love the Blue Ridge Numismatic Assn show in Dalton, Ga, in mid-August every year and it is one of the few shows I can regularly fit in to our busy schedule. It's a three-day show (four days if you count Early Birds) and there are about 300 tables. Mrs. VDB and I are at Table 319 near the restrooms and snack bar at the left rear of the hall. For more information go to Show Site

    There is also a spring show in Dalton which we don't do but I hear it is great as well, I think that one is the Georgia Numismatic Assn.

    Best Regards,

    George

    I don't want to "pile on", but the Dalton shows are the next best things to the national shows like FUN and ANA.
    Plenty of good stuff for sale. I drive from Birmingham for the day. It is well worth it!

    Good to know about the Dalton show since I am also in the Birmingham area and have family around Atlanta that I could also visit. Any of the local central Alabama shows worth attending?

    The Bessemer show is good and well worth attending, but not as strong as Dalton. I really can't decide if Chatanooga is any better than Bessemer or if it is just the excitement of driving to another state to attend a show.
    I think Bessemer is July 18-20 this year.

    Pelham is the weaker of the Birmngham shows. That show was last weekend and not worth it (for me).
