<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 1248762, member: 18828&quot;]Today, I traveled to Dalton, Georgia to go to the 52nd Annual Blue Ridge Numismatic Association coin show. Today was the 1st day of the coin show and it continues tomorrow and the last day is on Sunday. I got to the coin show about 8 minutes before the show started (started at 10:00 AM). I waited in my vehicle until 10 AM. As I was waiting in my vehicle for the show to start, I noticed that there was a steady stream of cars coming in to the venue and the parking lot was starting to fill up with cars and this was before the show started. When I arrived at the venue (about 9:52 AM), spot gold was at $1855.10/oz and spot silver was at $42.08/oz. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seemed to me that there were more people that attended this first day of the show than this time last year. There appeared to be more people buying gold and especially silver. There were also some people selling gold and silver but I was not paying too much attention to the people who were selling. Overall IMO, there was plenty of silver bullion to be had and they had all different types of silver from 100-oz Engelhard bars to the 1-oz .999 generic silver rounds. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of couse my first goal was to find some silver art bars to add to my collection. I found some silver art bars that I liked very much but I had to look closely because some of them were easy to miss. As I was looking for silver art bars, I came across some prices on various other types of gold and silver bullion. Here are some prices that I have observed:</p><p><br /></p><p>SAE&#039;s = $46 to $50</p><p><br /></p><p>2011 SAE = $48</p><p><br /></p><p>1/10 GAE&#039;s $200 to $205</p><p><br /></p><p>1-oz .999 generic silver = $43</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver art bars = $44 was the lowest price that I saw but certain rare and semi-rare ones started at $50 and went up from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>10-oz silver bars = $430 to $440</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, they had 1-oz gold eagles, 1-oz gold Kruggerands, etc but I did not pay attention to the prices on those. They also had 90% silver, 100-oz silver bars as well as some numismatic coins (slabbed and raw). It felt more crowded this time than last year and I saw some other silver art bar collectors at this show and we got together and talked. I had a very good day today at the show and I picked up a few silver art bars that I liked and I am happy with my purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>I plan to go back to the coin show tommorrow to see if I can find any more silver art bars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
