I am so jealous!

There are never any coin shows around here! All we get are gun shows where some people happen to show up with coins to sell (and I'm not sure I'd want to buy there).

 

Even the nearest coin store is 1 hour away... stupid east side of Houston.

With not too many coins shows and still some coin sellers at guns hows may be an opportunity for a good deal??

This is true. I haven't gone to the shows though my step-father has told me that there are guys that sell silver dollars basically at melt.

WAH, WAH, WAH!!! I only count 28 coin shops in Houston. Live in South WestVirginia and there are maybe 4 in a 4 hour radius. I would love to be able to pick from that many coin shops in even a 2 hour drive. Oh well, there is always Ebuy.

Pasadena has a coin show about 4 times a year and there is the Money Show in Houston Nov.29 to Dec.2.

Do any of these occur from about May 17th to August 19th? Otherwise I was probably at school and didn't hear about it. Where do they have it?

I don't know where you're getting 28, but all the ones I'm aware of are on the other side of town. I will admit though that compared to you my situation isn't THAT bad.

I just looked in yellowpages.com under Houston's zip code-might be one you didn't know about. I counted 28, but then there's this new math.

When I went searching last I used a copy of the Greater Houston Yellowpages, a physical copy of it (which I suspect might be a bit out of date) and I found about 5-6 if I remember properly.

 

New math? ... do tell.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this one. I will be in Houston from October 1 to December 14 for training.

I feel your pain guys. I also did a search on yellowpages.com for my zip and I got one in Texas and one it Florida?

How far are you from Richmond?

[Lem]

I'm about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes away, are there some good dealers there and or shows?

[rbrown4]

Maulemall can fill you in on Richmond, but only an hour or so up the road here in the DC area there are always several shows year round in and around DC and Baltimore. Anytime you want to come this way and go, let me know.

Rey, from here it would take me about 2 hours+ depending on the 66 and 495 traffic to get to DC. I've been out of that area two years now but have not forgotten the traffic problems!

[Lem]

Irvin thanks for the link!!

[MAULEMALL]

DC suburban area traffic is fine --- just schedule your trip to arrive sometime between 3am and 5am...and don't use I-66, I-95, I-495, I-395, I-270 or Routes 17, 7, 28, 29, 27, 32, 108, 1, 2, 50, 236, 234, 193, 123 or most of the side streets. Also avoid numbered, lettered and named streets in Washington, DC (assuming you get in). Lastly, bring a picnic lunch and a port-a-potty for the longer backups.
