I've been checking as well. They haven't had one in months, nor is there one scheduled that I could find.  |

Casutherland- I have heard from some relatives of mine who live in the area that Nashville has had nearly no coin shows since the early 2000s. Regarding shows Nashville seems to be a pretty dry area.

Here is a great website that has a list of coin shows for TN. It looks like there is a show coming up in October for Nashville. http://www.tsns.org/Tennessee Club Shows.html |

Sorry, the "Club Shows.html" in the above post should be apart of the link.

Yes I will for sure be looking. It doesn't make much sense, especially since metal detecting is so big here, you would think that coin collection would be also?

I think it has mostly to do with the 9.25% sales tax. Coins are not tax exempt in TN, and that can be a dealbreaker. One show did come last year, but unfortunately it was right after the flood. It didn't do very well.

The Coin Purse in Green Hills is a great place. They're really helpful, have all the supplies you need, and a good selection of coins. Other than that, look out for good deals on ebay or eCrater, and roll hunt. That's what I do. Edited by CPC24

Every shop is going to have a premium; they're no exception. Pawn shops around here are much worse! If one even has anything, they're very proud of it. The only way to get coins below spot is to either find them in change or a roll, or find someone who doesn't know what they're worth.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but there is a Hendersonville Coin Club that meets every 3rd Monday in Hendersonville. It's about 20 minutes north of Downtown Nashville.

I would like to have a coin show 20 minutes away. The closest/regular one to me is about an hour away (metro Atlanta), usually on the 2nd Sunday in a month.

All that is necessary is to search the internet for Tennessee Coin shows, and you will find a number of listings!! The Tennessee state show is in Chattanooga (why NOT Nashville? - who knows!!) each fall. There is a large show in Gallatin each May and December - and an excellent show in Jackson each September. There is a small monthly show in Knoxville, and perhaps others. Try this link: http://www.tsns.org/Tennessee%20Club%20Shows.htmlAlso, the Mississippi state show is held just south of Memphis each October, and the Memphis coin show is in February. Most collectors, rather than griping about no local coin shows, do not hesitate to drive 2-3 hours for a good show. All of these shows are very easy to find on the internet. When traveling, you very easily can find coin show listings on the internet by state - no problem!! |

I'm going to the coin show in Jackson this Saturday. It will be my first show, so I'm excited about it.

There is a coin shop in the 'burbs called Smyrna Coin. They may know where the shows are.
