Tennessee’s coin show scene spans the state from Memphis to Nashville to Knoxville. The Tennessee State Numismatic Society (TSNS) anchors the calendar with its spring and fall conventions featuring 200+ dealer tables at Camp Jordan Arena. Knoxville runs a monthly coin show circuit that gives East Tennessee collectors regular access to dealers year-round.
Buying Gold & Silver at Coin Shows
Coin shows are excellent venues for purchasing gold and silver bullion and rare coins. Whether you’re building a precious metals portfolio or collecting specific numismatic pieces, coin shows offer direct dealer access and competitive pricing.
Buyers should compare offers across multiple dealers at a show before making purchase decisions. Verify the purity and weight of coins, ask about dealer credentials, and understand the difference between bullion (investment-grade precious metals) and numismatic coins (valuable due to rarity or historical significance).

Notable Tennessee Coin Shows
Tennessee State Numismatic Society (TSNS) Conventions
The TSNS holds two major conventions each year — a spring show in March and a fall show in November — both at Camp Jordan Arena in East Ridge. With 200+ dealer tables and free admission, these are the largest concentrated gatherings of coin dealers in Tennessee. Collectors from across the state and neighboring states converge for the three-day events, which provide ample opportunity to browse, negotiate, and build relationships with dealers. The fall convention is popular for collectors looking for Walking Liberty half dollars as dealers bring fresh inventory ahead of the holiday season.
Knoxville Coin & Currency Show
The Knoxville Coin & Currency Show runs monthly at the Rothchild Catering & Conference Center on Kingston Pike, providing East Tennessee collectors with consistent, regular access to dealers and the broader numismatic community. The monthly schedule eliminates long gaps between shows and allows collectors to build ongoing relationships with dealers. For Knoxville-area residents and East Tennessee collectors, this monthly circuit is the most reliable way to buy and sell coins locally.
West Tennessee Collectors Club
The 67th Annual West Tennessee Collectors Club Coin Show, held in Jackson each September, is a longstanding institution with deep roots in the Jackson numismatic community. This mid-state event serves collectors in the West Tennessee region and complements the larger TSNS conventions.
Memphis Coin Club
The Memphis Coin Club anchors the western part of the state’s numismatic scene. The club’s Fall Show in September brings together dealers and collectors in the Memphis area, serving Tennessee’s largest metropolitan area and surrounding communities in the Mid-South.

Tennessee’s numismatic community is supported by several active clubs and organizations:
- Tennessee State Numismatic Society (TSNS) – The statewide umbrella organization coordinating the annual spring and fall conventions and promoting numismatics across Tennessee
