<p>[QUOTE=&quot;willieboyd2, post: 2058618, member: 4910&quot;]I have rarely seen coin shows covered on the television news, usually only if an extremely rare coin is shown, or there is some activity like the Kennedy 2014 coin fiascos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to the local coin show on Friday, January 9 (2015), the NorCal show held in Concord, California, at the Clarion Hotel, around 30 miles from San Francisco. This was a small local show with about 30 dealers present.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later that evening I watched the San Francisco KGO Channel 7 television news, which ran a short feature on the coin show where a dealer showed an Isle of Man silver &quot;coin&quot; weighing 9 lbs, worth $7,000.</p><p><img src="http://ia902603.us.archive.org/9/items/KGO_20150110_010000_ABC7_News_500PM/KGO_20150110_010000_ABC7_News_500PM.thumbs/KGO_20150110_010000_ABC7_News_500PM_001455.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The news reporter added &quot;get your coins appraised for free&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>This link has the KGO news clip along with others:</p><p><a href="http://archive.org/details/KGO_20150110_010000_ABC7_News_500PM#start/1440/end/1500" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://archive.org/details/KGO_20150110_010000_ABC7_News_500PM#start/1440/end/1500" rel="nofollow">http://archive.org/details/KGO_20150110_010000_ABC7_News_500PM#start/1440/end/1500</a></p><p><br /></p><p>On a personal note, I found this interesting Franklin D.
