What could I expect if I attended the Memphis Coin Show this weekend in Southhaven MS?
I realize this is Long Beach weekend, so few if any national dealers will be there.
Please tell me your experiences at this show in the past. I live in Birmingham, so want to be confident it is big enough to be worth the drive.
The site mentions 72 tables. Is it usually full? What kind of crowd have you experienced?

    Expect to enjoy yourself at a local show. Expect a range of nice collector coins - some greatly over priced, some reasonable - an people who have time and interest to talk to you, not your wallet.

    I thought Memphis was in Tennessee?

    I like it at Landers. Easy to get in and out. Roger you can practically throw a rock and hit Memphis from there. You'll enjoy it. I'm going to see about maybe going early Saturday.

    I have never been to that show.... as a matter of fact, I have not been to a coin show in ten years since I left Seattle....So, if you go, please post a show report. Cheers, RickO

    I used to attend this show regularly but haven't been in about 10 years or so.

    I did not make the trip.
    I had read about the probability of severe weather in the area and did want want to risk it.

    I went friday. It is the same group that's there twice a year. It was fine. Not all the tables were set up friday. Saturday weather was not as bad as predicted, but it probably slowed things.
