Welcome to the Monthly Greater Atlanta Coin Shows!

Many people attended the busy April 14, 2013 Greater Atlanta Coin Show even though gold and silver values on the metals market dropped dramatically on Friday just prior to the show. The coin dealers packed the bourse held in two rooms with their displays of coins, currency, bullion and related numismatic items.

We welcome everyone to visit the show — newbies, old hands and people just curious about a coin show.

We appreciate all of the coin dealers and all of the visitors that make the Greater Atlanta Coin Show a success each month!

Take a look at the coin show's April 2013 Notes for highlights from the recent show. Visit the 2013 Notes page for links to show summaries from earlier in the year and the 2012 Notes page for the summaries of last year's monthly coin shows.

Each month, visitors can view and buy from the displays of coins, currency and bullion found among the many showcases provided by the coin dealers on the bourse. The coin dealers also purchase coins, currency and bullion collections from attendees. They offer their best competitive prices given the current market conditions.

The Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomes both new and experienced collectors of coins and currency along with new and experienced investors of coins and bullion metals - gold, silver and platinum - as well. And, admission is always free.

If you are just curious about a coin show or maybe you want to learn about an old coin or piece of currency you received or found, you are welcome at the coin show too.

If you are considering selling coins, currency or precious metals (for example, bullion silver, gold and platinum), you can bring them to the coin show for valuation. The experienced coin dealers can examine and provide free verbal appraisals during the coin show. 

The monthly coin show's location is the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center located at 500 Powder Springs Street just south of the historic Marietta Square in Marietta, Georgia. (For those of you looking for the "Dunwoody Coin Show," this is it. We moved.) More details can be found on our Location and Directions and our FAQ pages.

The next monthly coin show is Sunday, May 19, 2013 in the Joe Mack Wilson ballroom in the main conference area.

You can find the full schedule for the 2013 Greater Atlanta Coin Show dates on our Show Dates page. You will also find the 2013 show flyer and a full year calendar that can easily be printed for reference.

The Greater Atlanta Coin Show began in 1988. Given the volatility in the metals recently, it's interesting to review the fluctuations of gold and silver throughout all of the coin show years, from 1988 through 2012 and into 2013.

Take a look at our silver charts to see how silver began at just over $6, dropped into the $3.50s and is now moving from the upper $20s to the low to mid $30s.

Similarly, our gold charts show the yellow metal's prices began right at $441, dropped into the $250s and is now bouncing in the mid to upper $1600s per troy ounce.

The silver and gold charts are through Friday, April 12, updated for the values before the recent coin show. New charts will be posted after the next monthly coin show.

Remember to check the Location & Directions and Show Dates pages for more details about the coin show's location (with pictures), the directions and the monthly show dates. The Coin Dealers page lists the frequent coin dealers you can find at the monthly coin show as well.

Come early to the coin show to visit your favorite dealers! The coin show opens at 9:00am for guests. The bourse hours are 9am - 5pm. However, late comers will find that several coin dealers choose to leave before 5.

Whether you are an occasional coin collector, a coin club member, an investor, a numismatic hobbyist or a guest of one, you are welcome to attend the show, and admission is free.

The coin show also welcomes those who know nothing about coin collecting but want to learn.

The coin show hosts 35+ tables each month for coin dealers with varied interests. You can find collectible and investment coins, currency and bullion - gold, silver or platinum - along with jewelry and collecting supplies. The coin show offers you several coin dealers and coin shops all in one place!

Some of you may want to sell your collection. Or, maybe you received gifts of collectible coins over the years and now want cash instead. The coin show provides you with a variety of coin dealers willing to buy your collectibles.

Also, if you no longer want or need your bullion (gold, silver or platinum), you will find several dealers at the show who are willing to buy it based on current market prices of the precious metals.

The coin show with its many coin dealers provides you the ability to compare the dealers' offers all at one place whether you are buying or selling coins, currency and bullion.

Located in Atlanta, the coin show is an easy drive for friends and nearby neighbors from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Of course, if you hail from another state, territory or country and are in the area, stop by, you are certainly welcome, too!

REMINDER: No Sales Tax on coins or bullion in Georgia.
