Pittsburgh Coin Show - He Shoots and Scores!
I've been waiting for months and the day has finally arrived, the big coin show finally comes to Pittsburgh. This show is put on by Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists and they have a big show in Pittsburgh twice a year, Spring and Fall. For the last several years, the show has been held in the Monroeville Convention Center in Monroeville, PA (about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh).
They had over 175 tables this year with sellers from Maine to South Carolina and as far west as Illinois. The main room was packet out.
It was at this point I was yelled at by a kindly old security guard telling me I was not able to take pictures inside without the sellers permission. Yikes, this little old lady was half my size and twice my age. I apologized and asked her if she wanted me to delete my pictures. She just said "don't take anymore".
I did notice she was following me around for a little bit more, but then she must have got tired because I was running around like a 5-year-old in Toys-r-Us!
So I performed my initial fly-over looking at all of the tables and noting which ones I wanted to come back to.
One table was selling a lot of Perth Mint and Canadian series coins. That was my first stop!
I've been wanting the Lunar II Year of the Dog and I finally got them today. I scored a 10oz and a 1oz!
I also picked up a few other goodies from this table.
A 2015 Year of the Goat.
The 2016 and 2017 Pandas
The 2015 and 2018 Kookaburras
And a 2017 Koala
At another table, I scooped up a 2017 Kangaroo, a 2017 Canadian Predator Lynx, and this nifty 2oz silver bullet!
And now, the best for last!
I came upon the table by Yeager Poured Silver (http://yeagerspouredsilver.com/) out of Fowler, Ohio. I got to meet and talk with the owner as well as see most of his poured silver offerings up close.
Time to drop some money!!! 😎
I picked up a hand full of his 1oz pieces...
A couple 3oz items....
Various 5oz designs....
This 10oz cube...
And finally, a .5 kilo skull...
I also snagged up a Barbados Trident and a Steamboat Mickey just for fun...
All in all, I walked out of there with 76.637 Ounces added to my stack!
Not a bad day!
This coin show was an absolute blast! So much silver, so little money!
The coin show looks incredible.
"Not a bad day" shit my friend thats a damn Brinks Haul right there. That 10oz cube is sweet, and hell yeah another Trident. All I can say is
Thanks Man! Thing is, I've been keeping all the poured items on my desk and playing with them like toys.
The 10oz cube is quality silver-porn!
I'm loving it!
very nice haul, you stocked up!! love the yeager pieces and cool that you got to meet David there! :)
Real nice guy! He even gave me a canvas bag in which to haul away all of my stash. Class act!
Dang! Nice pick ups. Love the poured pieces. You didn’t see any steem silver rounds there? 😁
Believe me, I was looking for the Steem Coin. Didn't find any though.
This was a hell of a get! Those poured bars are bad ass!! The cube is sweet as well!
It was great to meet the owner and talk with him about his company and products.
Oh I bet that was an awesome experience!
Oh man I wish we had coin shows like that in Australia.
In my area, many of the LCS are closing down, this is one of my only options!
