Greater Chicago Coin & Currency Show | INSIDE SCOOP | What Really Goes On Behind the Scenes

In today's video, I will show you the Greater Chicago Coin & Currency Show in Tinley Park, Illinois. Tony from the Gold Depot in Griffith Indiana was one of the coin dealers there and he was kind enough to share the INSIDE SCOOP regarding what really goes on behind the scenes at a coin show. Thank you Tony! Kudos to the organizers of this show. It was very well run and absolutely free to get into. The Tinley Park Convention Center is a very nice venue. The coin dealers I met were from all over the midwest. All the dealers I encountered were very friendly, so keep an eye out for future coin show by checking out the Greater Chicago Coin & Currency website:

I hope you enjoy this video and be sure to watch to the end to see what I was able to score at this awesome coin show! As always, THANKS FOR WATCHING!

I am drooling and was before you even said that! WOW! That are awesome! Nice 2021 proofs! Got mine already! Will show off soon... Man I wish I had coins shows here! Great pickups at the show love those Mexican coins and Morgans... I think you and share the same favorites across all spectrums of silver coins!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I knew you’d dig those! Ha ha. Thanks buddy!

Cannot get better than two fellow stackers thinking about each other. That’s nice especially considering the distance between you two. I’m gonna check out Aloha’s channel next. Thanks for the recommendation T and thanks for sharing w us

@@repunched106 thanks Mike! I hope you like my channel! T is awesome and we enjoy collecting many of the same coins…

I met both Tony and Rich Friday morning at the coin show. I usually go on Saturday's but I was off Friday because my son was married on Saturday. They're a couple of really nice guys we had a good conversation.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Yes. Genuinely nice guys. Congrats on the marriage!

Yes, Never know what you’re going to find at a coin show. Always a surprise or two!

[@cason2006]

Looks like a great time was had at the Greater Chicago Coin show! Beautiful 1825 2 Reale for $19. Wow, only $18 for the 5 Pesos coin! Great pickups at awesome prices! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Cason. Those 5 Pesos are not easy to find anymore!

[@piranhabadass1]

1953 and 1956 Pesos coins looking very nice! Great Buy :)

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Joe! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!

[@SilverStruck]

Awesome video! Loved seeing those 8 Reales ship wreck coins. The 2021 Libertad proof sets are also really nice to see and hard to get for sure.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Silver Struck! I appreciate you tuning in!

[@kaynefryday1251]

Ooooh no I missed the stream, I will make a coffee and find some cake and watch the video, that’s a day made in heaven in my book. 👍🦘🦅

[@TtheSilverStacker]

No worries Kayne. I tried an instant premiere. Only a few people showed up. Next time I’ll give advanced notice. Take care!

[@ultrahighreliefcoinrollhun9623]

Love the coin show videos AND the fact that you ask dealers for prices and that you tell us the prices you paid for the coins you get!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Buddy! I appreciate the feedback and the kind words. I’ll try to remember to do that more often. Take care!

[@kaynefryday1251]

T , I got my very first morgan 2 weeks ago. A 1921 in au. My good frien got me a ticket in a race on a silver channel called : my silver squad and I won. I’m so happy it made my year. Morgan’s are very very rare here in Australia. I think Morgan’s are one of the best looking coins in the world, such a classic look. 😊 . Great video T.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Congrats Kayne! Glad you got one buddy! That’s very cool. I agree. That classic look is so iconic.

[@piranhabadass1]

That 2021 proof set is awesome!

Thanks T another banger video! on the green rattlers, they are notorious for undergrading so if the buyer can upgrade even a 1 or 2 he can make some $ (date, grade etc obviously can vary drastically) looooveee that 1825 Mexican coin! wow!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Hey, Thanks SB30! I didn’t know that about those old green rattlers! I appreciate the heads up!

[@VideoMan4MuscleShoals]

Thats Awesome! I Would Love to own a coin like that1956 coin. Thats my birth year & I horde most all 1956 coins I can get, lol

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Just a little older than me. Ha ha!

[@Chrisinsocal]

I would feel totally intimidated at a coin show lol So much knowledge packed in and I’m not sure if they’re looking for suckers (me😂😂😂)

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Here in the Midwest, most people are super nice. If a dealer doesn’t have something you’re looking for, he will point you in the direction of another dealer who might have it.

[@Chrisinsocal]

@@TtheSilverStacker That’s that Midwest hospitality for you! Here in California it’s every man for himself 😂😂 Jk!

@@Quahogstacker I think he was around $350 for the smaller set. I could be wrong. Not sure about the bigger.

[@CashAndCoinsYT]

I have never been to a coin store. Putting it on my list

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Never been to a coin show? Good deals to be had there. Most of the dealers have no overhead.

[@CashAndCoinsYT]

@@TtheSilverStacker For Me, so far, it is due to a trust issue. But if you recommend it??

[@TtheSilverStacker]

@@CashAndCoinsYT I tend to go to the same guys I get to know over and over. I wouldn’t worry too much, because if someone was selling fake stuff, the other dealers would sniff him out real quick.

Great video, actually, it's pretty funny you did this, we definitely think alike, (but I do not make videos).. and great catch on the "odd weight" bar also. Keep up the great work, Thanks 👍

They certainly are sweet! Take care!

[@donaldinnewmexico]

Hi, T. I saw some beautifully toned Walkers in the Gold Depot display. I like that 7 coin Libertad set. I am crossing my fingers, toes, legs, eyes, ears, butt cheeks, everything, that I get my 2021 PR & RPR 1oz Silver Libertads soon and at close to issue price. You picked up a sweet 2R 1825 coin. Also 1953 and 1956 Cinco Pesos coins. I would not have left that show without the 5-coin Proof Libertad set. LOL. Good Video, T. Thanks. BTW, That is a scoop on the 2021 Proof Libertads. Those are my first sightings of this year's coins. *TYU*

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Donald. I was very tempted to pull the trigger on that proof set. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s sold them already.

[@dukenukem001]

sounded fine ... enjoyed the video ,,,, i also really like the 1955 5 peso "train coin"

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Cool, thanks Duke. I was worried about that sound quality. I appreciate the feedback!

[@PistolPackingPilot]

Super cool. Aloha would love those sunken coins for sure. Nice 1921 Morgan’s. Great video T. I sent you an email BTW.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks PPP! I'm pretty slow with my emails. If it's regarding those tp tablets, I had to KZbin to see what you're talking about. Never saw anything like that before! Take care! T

@@TtheSilverStacker Not the TP tablets. My grandmother just passed away about an hour ago. We’re coming up to Chicago tomorrow. We were hoping she would’ve waited till we arrived tomorrow, but I guess that wasn’t meant to be.

Where can a person get a libertad box just like the one on this video ? I want two of them.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I bought one on eBay in the spring, but they are hit and miss on there. Not always available.

[@jrtjonathanwinchell3955]

I like the shipwreck coin that you bought. Btw with the history of that particular year that you bought whats the significance between what you got and the other shipwreck coin that was at the auction?

[@TtheSilverStacker]

The one I bought wasn’t a shipwreck coin. Just a cool 200 year old coin.

[@piranhabadass1]

Gotta Love the Morgan's! and under $30... Steal!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

For sure. Hard to find them under $30 these days. Most popular collector coin on the planet.

This is why I don't go to coin shows. "I'll take on of everything" LOL
