I did have occasion to get some selling prices at the show:
Silver Eagles - spot +$3.00/oz.
Shawnee ATBs - spot +$3.00/oz.
Silvertowne "Poker Chip" (quite nice looking, actually) rounds - spot +$0.75/oz.
I didn't see any 90% for sale in bulk, maybe some in baggies but I wasn't paying too close attention.
I only saw (1) raw Platinum Eagle Proof 1 ozer and (1) 1/10th ozer in an NGC slab, but that was the sum total of platinum in the entire bourse.
I only found about (5) Gold Spouses and they were mostly Jackie O, a Louisa, and one Abigail, I think.
There were the usual arrays of classic gold, both raw & slabbed, some 2016 AGEs now, various foreign gold, both modern and older.
The show seemed busy yesterday, a good sign.
I apologize to the silver bar guys - I forgot to take photos of a few bars that might have been interesting, and I will remember to do so in the future. There was a very nice 1969 5-coin set of the Eagle-style (Englehard) rounds that I've seen posted here once in awhile, but it was priced to perfection.
I did see a few tables with sheets of Gold Buffs, but I didn't check the years. The only other Gold Buffs I saw were Proofs of 2006 & 2007 - interestingly, there were no recent dates around.
For the first time that I can remember, I spent more at Walmart yesterday than I did at the coin show. I did sell a couple things, but only to be ready for some of the new Mint offerings.
That's all I got.
Oh, there was one other cool thing that I saw, and I almost had to spring for it. It was an ultra, ultra, ultra high relief 1 oz. Gold Lincoln coin from Popjoy Mint, slabbed by NGC, with a walnut case & cert, the whole shebang, and he only wanted $20 over spot!!!!!!!

Any word on when the USM bullion commemorative's set of classic US coins will be released?
The Mint schedule still has the Centennial coins as TBD, and I haven't heard anything otherwise yet. Nothing on the mintages or types of finishes yet either.
Maybe someone else knows?

I always try to go to this one but with it being V-Day tomorrow I'll probably miss it...but if I go I'll report what Chicago prices are in this thread.

I've been tempted to go to that show, POM. If I ever do, I'll give you a holler.
Please do. It's pretty good still. Use to be more dealers but there's still 30-40 there monthly selling coins to bullion to ASE's/generic to sterling to sterling jewelry to foreign coins to even art sometimes.
