Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 03:12 am There are a few shops in Louisville KY, only one of which I would call good. I don't know anything about TN. Frankly when it comes to coin shops, clubs, shows etc KY is pretty much the black hole of Calcutta. There are two coin clubs in Louisville. Lexington and Paducah seem to try to form one or have a coin show every ten years or so and fade away again. They don't even have a state organization anymore. It folded and was absorbed by the Louisville Coin Club this past year. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 08:43 am About the only good thing I can say about the area is that you are almost as likely to find P mint coins in change as you are to find D mint coins. They are very near the border of distribution between the two mints. In Louisville I got a box that was about 75% D mint. In Nashville I got a box that was exactly the opposite. I have heard other people say they get very mixed results from that line of longitude. I guess it just depends on where the trucks that deliver coins come from that day. Report this Post to the Staff

Amen to that, brother! Quote: About the only good thing I can say about the area is that you are almost as likely to find P mint coins in change as you are to find D mint coins. And may I have a SECOND Amen! I live in Lexington, which is probably too far from Fort Campbell to make it worth the trip. Not that you would want to make it, at least for any numismatic reasons. One store, and not a great one. No shows, no club. Roll searching is not bad, though; you do get a good mix of the two major mints with some "S" mint coins sprinkled in. Report this Post to the Staff
