The August Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed many visitors, both new and recurring, to enjoy the dealers' displays of coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles.
New people are always welcome, and we like to see the returning faces too.
We thank all of you who come to the show and hope you enjoy the different displays whether you are buying, selling, trading or just looking at the interesting items.
Of course, we appreciate our dealers, our security and the hotel's staff for their contributions to the show each month.
Outside, Mother Nature provided clouds and some rain in the morning hours but changed it to a sunny afternoon with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s during the day.

This month, the bourse welcomed several young people, in the single digit age, who were looking for specific coins for their collections. One was working on a beautiful state quarters collection. We're glad they came to the show and hope they continue their adventures into numismatics.
Again, we enjoyed helping people who brought inherited coins for a free verbal appraisal. Some wanted to sell their inherited collection. Others just wanted to know their current value and planned to put their items safely away.
Some guests came to the show looking for specific coins to add to their collection. For example, people looked for type coins such as half cents.

One lady wanted Roman coins. She was sent to a dealer who had many of the ancient coins for her to make her selection.
One gentleman came looking to fill blanks in his Morgan dollar collection. He was primarily searching for the key coins to the set.
With gold and silver continuing their higher values on the bullion market, several people visited the show to buy silver and gold. Some wanted coins while others preferred rounds or bars.
Now, let's take a look at a couple of items representing silver, gold and platinum.

Now, let's take a look at a couple of items representing silver, gold and platinum.
Not counting the premium the Perth Mint added, the set contained an average of just over $1510 of bullion metal in 1994.
In today's market, the gold is almost $3400; the platinum around $1350; and the silver near $39 per troy ounce.
With the number of ounces in this set, the four coins' precious metal weight total more than $10,000 in today's bullion market.
Using the Bureau of Labor and Statistics calculator, the $1510 in 1994 dollars equals $3287 in 2025 dollars.
This set certainly exceeded inflation in its 31 years from 1994 to 2025.

The Perth Mint included a numbered certificate outlining the size and purity of each of the four specimens.
Now, just think if you had bought this set in 1994. Platinum's average for the year was just over $400 per ounce. Gold's average per troy ounce was roughly $385. Silver per ounce was $5.30.
This set contains two ounces of gold for a total of $770. The platinum coin is one ounce at $400. The two silver one kilogram kookaburras contain 64.30 troy ounces for $340.70.

The obverse of the 1994 One Kilogram Kookaburra Silver Coin contains Raphael Maklouf's portrayal of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the notations of AUSTRALIA, 30 DOLLARS and ELIZABETH II.
The reverse shows the design by Leslie Adonis featuring two kookaburras sitting on a tree branch among the leaves.
In addition, the reverse notes 1994, THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, 1 KILO, and 999 SILVER.

1995 Civil War Drummer One Ounce Silver Round
Our last example looks very familiar, however it is not what you think it is at first glance.
The design takes most of its elements from the US Mint's clad half dollar in the 1995 Civil War Battlefields modern commemorative set.
Look closely, this silver round contains one troy ounce of 99.9 percent pure silver as noted on the reverse of the round.
Even if the capsule is scruffy, the silver round still showcases the design.
