<p>[QUOTE="1970 Silver Art, post: 1513667, member: 18828"]I attended the 2nd day of the 53rd Annual Blue Ridge Numismatic Association coin show. I got there around 10:15 AM and went inside and started looking around. Today is the day of the IASAC annual meeting and since it was in the afternoon, I decided to look for more silver art bars and I also kept on observing prices of other types of gold and silver to see if they changed any. During this 2nd day of the show, I did not see many silver art bars but I did end up picking up one today for $30.00 which was not bad IMO. There were also a couple of dealers that were here today that were not there yesterday but they did not have anything of interest to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did observe some more prices and this time I paid attention to what the 1/10th oz GAE's were selling for. Most of the 1/10th oz GAE's were selling for $180 with a few of them selling for $185 at other dealer tables. The few other 1/10th oz gold coins (non-GAE's) that I saw were selling for $175. I also did some some raw Morgan dollars selling for $35.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not see many sellers today and one of the sellers that I saw was selling Morgans to a dealer. I also did see some more 1/20th oz gold coins but I did not buy any gold today since I did not see anything interesting at the time. Most of those 1/20th oz gold coins were selling for prices ranging from $95 to as high as $105 which that did not change from yesterday.</p><p><br /></p><p>During my time at the show, I also spent a lot of time at the IASAC table talking to several of the IASAC members and discussing certain rare bars that some either are looking for or already have. This was my favorite part of the show and I felt great talking to other people who share the same interest that I do in this hobby. I also noticed that the dealers and coin show participants were older people but I did seem some young people at the show but not all of them were buying bullion. A lot of them were interested collecting coins based on what they were buying and looking at.
