Lots of visitors joined us at the August 2026 Greater Atlanta Coin Show with dealers filling the bourse with their coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles. The dealers and their showcases provide a variety of treasures for people to buy, sell, trade or just browse among the rows of displays.

Outside, Mother Nature provided a nice day with HOT temperatures. July was hot but not as much so as in the recent past. August weather is making up for it with high temperatures accompanied by high humidity. We'll take it...heat is better than cold.

As always, we appreciate our visitors, our dealers, our security and the IAM Union Hall's staff. All of you contribute to the show and make it a fun place to spend a few hours each month.
This month, we had a full bourse with a couple of guest dealers. We also welcomed a lot of visitors to the bourse. Now that summer vacations are behind most people, the show is seeing more people visiting the various dealers.

We also saw a number of new, young faces attending the show. Welcome, we're glad you came. It's good to see more younger people interested in the hobby.

In August, the food ladies offered a selection of items for both guests and dealers to enjoy. They provide burgers and dogs with an addition of a couple of sandwich choices. One this month was barbeque. People need not wait as the ladies sell out of almost everything by early afternoon.

Our young gentleman came again this month and offered drinks and snacks for those just wanting a little something to eat.

Did you know there are numismatists who enjoy learning about and collecting errors? Some focus on error coins while others like to find error currency. A few visitors to the August show looked for errors to add to their collections.
Some attending the August coin show looked for large cents. The US Mint began making the large cent in 1793 and ended the coin in 1857 after the small cent made its debut in 1856. The large cent began with the flowing hair design on the obverse and had several different liberty head versions throughout its years of production.

The large cent coins could tell some interesting tales of their travels from post-revolution to subsequent wars and skirmishes to the everyday trade in the cities, towns and frontiers.

In addition, another small coin, the three-cent piece, gathered some interest at the August show. The US Mint made the small silver three-cent coin, also called a trime or a fish scale, from 1851 to 1873. They made a nickel version from 1865 to 1889. Both the silver and the nickel coins add interesting insights into the early coinage.

On a different note, a dealer displayed one of the new $100 currency notes with President Trump's signature. It was just on display as they are beginning to arrive in circulation.

Yes, there were lots of displays at the August coin show. But, the show was busy and allotted no time to grab a few images to showcase.

Of course, everyone is welcome to visit the next show and see the many treasures in person.
