Tidewater Area Coin Shops, Shows & Clubs
Greetings RCCers,
I am probably relocating to Hampton Virginia sometime this coming Spring, and would like to familiarize myself with coin shop locations, clubs and shows in the local area. Appreciate any links and pointers anyone might contribute. I thought the Beltway was in my future plans, but after doing the cost of living analysis, Hampton looks like a sure deal.

The best place is to start he
http://tidewatercoinclub.org/ They have a good show about once a quarter. And the VFW coin show too: http://members.aol.com/FortnerSN/VFWCoinShow.html Guy Clark usually makes it to all the local shows, so I use his webpage to keep track of the Tidewater and VFW shows: See bottom of his homepage. http://www.ancient-art.com/ On this side of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel is a shop 'Reed Walton Coins' Bid board every tuesday night. Hope this gets you started. Welcome back south of the Beltway... Jeff at Langley AFB ---------------------------- "Gerald Buckmaster" wrote in message news:_%7yd.67599$ka2.28575@fed1read04...

I am technically in tidewater and know nothing about shows and clubs.
But as far as coin shops, I can assure you there are none in the immediate area. The only dealer near this location is the guy in Virginia Beach with the full page ads in Coin World with a Dolphin on the page. High dollar stuff. And Harry Laibstain in mid town Newport News. Again, not a shop, just mail order for high dollar coins. As far as coin shops, you are looking at a 45 minute drive to Richmond. They have a few there. After I started collecting again, I was disappointed to find the lack of coin shops in this area. But it certainly is a good prosperous area of the country and you should move here if those are your plans. One hint. If you are moving to Hampton, I hope your job is in Hampton and not Norfolk or Va. Beach. The commute through the tunnel everyday would be a nightmare. But yes, it is a good area. Jim |
