Roadshow puts price on area collectibles

While the Ohio Valley Gold and Silver Refinery and Roadshow was in Morris, they spent “a pretty good portion” of the $300,000 they set aside to purchase coins, collectibles and antiques from the Grundy County area.

As of midday Friday, Jan. 13, between 50 and 60 people had visited the show at the Quality Inn with items they were looking to sell. Field Manager Patty Jayne said they saw less people than normal Thursday because of the weather, but anticipated a total of 150 to 200 people by the end of the show at 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14.
