<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 1030106, member: 18828&quot;]Today I went to the Tennessee State Numismatic Society Fall Coin Show. This is the first day of the coin show and it continues tomorrow and the last day is on Sunday.&nbsp; This is probably the largest coin show in Tennessee.&nbsp; It was crowded which was expected since this show usually has close to 200 dealer tables. I got there shortly after it opened (about 10:05 AM) but I had to park in the back since the parking lot was getting full.&nbsp; Once I got in, they asked me for id, which was a first since I did not have to do that at past TSNS coin shows.&nbsp; I checked Kitco.com to see where prices where when I got inside the building.&nbsp; Spot silver was $26.51 and spot gold was $1391.00 at that time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My goals at this show were to find some &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars that were on my &quot;wish list&quot; and to look for some hobo nickels to add to my hobo nickel collection. Since it was a fairly big coin show, it took several trips walking around the dealer tables to see what I can find.&nbsp; As I was searching for &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars and hobo nickels, I did run across some prices on general gold and silver bullion.&nbsp; Here are some prices that I have seen while I was there at the show:</p><p><br /></p><p>SAE&#039;s = $28 to $29.50.&nbsp; I am sure that there were some dealer tables that sold some for $30 or more there but I did not pay close attention to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Engelhard Prospectors = $27.00.&nbsp; I did not see many of these so far at the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>1/10 oz GAE = $160 to $165.&nbsp; I saw plenty of 1/10 GAEs there.&nbsp; There might have been some that were selling for less than $160 but so far I did not see any.</p><p><br /></p><p>1-oz &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars = Lowest I saw was at spot.&nbsp; Prices ranged from spot to $35.&nbsp; Some rarer one where higher than that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1-oz .999 generic silver bars = spot to $28.00</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>100-oz silver bars = $2800 (JM bar only).&nbsp; They also had a few Engelhard 100-oz bars there but not very many.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>10-oz silver bars = $275.00</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1-oz GAE&#039;s = $1430 to $1460</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course they also had 90% silver, numismatic gold and silver, Kookaburras, Lunars series (gold and silver), and other various gold and silver coins.&nbsp; I did find some hobo nickels and I bought one today but I plan to go back tomorrow to take another look at his hobo nickel selections.&nbsp; They had some &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars but I was being picky of what &#039;70&#039;s SAB&#039;s that I wanted to buy.&nbsp; I lot of the talk from what I was hearing was silver&#039;s amazing run.&nbsp; I heard that silver was close to making it to $27.&nbsp; I did talk to a few dealers at the show and that I was fun to me.&nbsp; Overall, it was decent for me and I plan to go back tomorrow to see what else I can find that I missed today.&nbsp; I got there at 10:05 AM and I left at just after 2:00 PM.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One of items that I found and bought at the show was this:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/EngelhardCanadaFront.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen these types of Engelhard bars at past coin shows but they always seem to have large premiums on them.&nbsp; The reverse is blank and it is sealed in plastic.&nbsp; I was able to buy this one for $27.00.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
