Coin Show History

2009 starts the twenty-first year of the Greater Atlanta Coin Show. This makes our second year at the Holiday Inn Select. We hope you easily find the location and readily find parking.

The coin show has been in a few venues in the North Metro area. One hotel was our home for a number of years, but we were bumped because of the 1996 Olympics.

The next hotel was a good location for several years as well, but a fire closed that venue.

The third hotel provided excellent service for a couple of years, but their limited parking caused both coin dealers and guests many problems. Now, we are at home with the Holiday Inn Select on Chamblee Dunwoody Road just inside Interstate 285.

Twenty full years - wow, that's a lot of shows! At least 240 shows, but in the early years, the Greater Atlanta Coin Show had thirteen shows per year. Whew!

In those twenty years, we have only missed one show due to an unexpected spring ice storm. Plus, we had to cancel a show when the fire shut the hotel, but we quickly found another site.

Over 240 shows... The coin show is still fun and still going strong!

Coin Show Security

For obvious reasons, coin shows require security. The Greater Atlanta Coin Show utilizes security with Jim Sherrill's security company.

Jim has extensive experience and only recently retired as a Sergeant of the Atlanta Police Department after many years serving the City of Atlanta.

Jim has provided excellent coin show security since the show began in 1988. You will also see him providing security for other coin shows such as the GNA, Blue Ridge and Whitman-Atlanta shows to name a few.
