Low Country Coin Show report
COINS MAKE CENTS

The show ran from friday to sunday. We had a blast as always. We look forward to this show. After setting up Friday we did quite a bit with other dealers. We purchased alot of vf-XF barber quarters from another dealer who was reducing his inventory to eventually retire soon.
Silver and gold prices were in just about every discussion I heard at some point. Many thinking the prices were going to continue to rise. 90% was trading from 11.50 to as high as one dealer wanting 14.75 because "it will be that much soon enough" is what he was telling people. I dont think he sold much if any.
I saw cull morgans at 16 to 18 and average circ morgans everywhere from 16.80 to 22. Peace dollars were again trading pretty low and when asked most dealers only wanted high grade ones or slabbed ones because most wanted morgans in bulk and not peace dollars.
Friday was actually pretty slow, most dealers figured it was because it was raining and cold, and that's not a good mix in the south. We did manage to conduct some business though even with the weather. Most were looking for semi key and key dates to fill holes. We actually sold 2 09 s vdb lincolns and 2 16 d mercs on friday. @WaterSport stopped by to say hi. We chatted for a little bit about coins.
As @ricko requested here is some of the amazing food from the show 
Here is the homemade chicken salad the cook makes. It's delicious!
Breakfast was egg and cheese biscuits with whatever meat you wanted and sausage gravy. Both the biscuits and sauage gravy was homemade. Any way back to coins....
Saturday started stronger as the weather was a little better. Collectors were looking for all coins on the spectrum. A lady who comes to the show everytime stopped by to sell more of her husband's coins. He divorced her and left all of a sudden she got the coins and every show brings me multiple albums to sell. This time I bought a complete bu roosevelt set, complete indian head set, complete higher grade washington quarter set, bu franklin set, and 25 1996 mint sets. She has already told me she will be bringing me more stuff next show.
On saturday I did have an interesting buy at least for me. I bought a love token on a one dollar gold piece. I normally have 20 or 30 love tokens in stock but have never had one of these 
I then had a gentleman sell me 50 1970 d half dollars he said he hoarded them for years and it was time to get them out of his way most were still in the celefane from the mint sets. The only other interesting thing I bought is a variety lincoln in an older anacs little white holder. Not a huge variety but thought it was kind of cool in the holder 
There was quite a few young numismatists on saturday which was great!
Sunday started slow as expected but did pick up from 1130 to 2. Nothing was offered for sale that day but we did manage to do quite a bit of business before the close of the show.
All in all the show was great. We look forward to seeing setting up at this show twice a year. The show is well run, the food is good, and the customers are great.

Thought so, wasn't sure if there was more than one Low Country. Lived there (James Island) for 40 years and attended the Ladson State Fair every year as a kid.
