I've purchased several coins at gun shows. Yes, the two do seem to go hand in hand. The coins that I've purchased were genuine and the prices were within reason. That said, just know what your're purchasing like anywhere else.
For example, here is one of my purchases (obviously not Silver). As I recall he was a local seller, very knowledgeable, and I was able to procure the coin for $100 (it was the last day of the show so I talked him down a bit). I know that you can't see the coin very well but, it had a full "Liberty" and strong headdress. I feel that it was more than a G-6.
