Gun show bullion dealers — be careful

Gun shows can be hit or miss for metals. I've found some good deals but also seen people get ripped off badly. That Barber quarter sounds like a good deal depending on condition. I mostly stick to my regular coin shop but will browse the gun show dealers. Always verify authenticity - seen some sketchy stuff at smaller shows.

Interesting... I've never really looked at the bullion dealers at gun shows. Usually I'm too focused on the guns and gear lol. Might have to check them out next time. Do they usually take cash only or will they do cards? And are the prices generally competitive with online dealers?

I love finding constitutional silver at gun shows! Sometimes the dealers don't know what they have or they're more focused on moving inventory. Found some Walking Liberty halves under spot once. But yeah you gotta be careful - test everything if possible and know your stuff before you buy. Some dealers are great, others... not so much.

Nice find! I've gotten some decent silver at gun shows but you really have to know what you're looking for. Some dealers are fair, others try to take advantage. I usually stick to the bigger shows where there's more competition between dealers. Always check current spot prices on your phone before buying anything.

Great info here. Bookmarking this thread for later.

Not sure I agree but I respect the opinion. For me the Walther PDP has been rock solid for 18 months now.

I'd love to see some photos if you get a chance to post them.

Solid post. I've been thinking about the same thing lately. My 1911 Government has been my go-to but I'm always looking at other options.
