The July 2024 Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed visitors to a bourse filled with treasures displayed in the dealers' showcases such as coins, currency, bullion and collectibles.
Of course, people are welcome to visit the show to browse, buy, sell or trade treasures with one or more of the many dealers.
For the July show, the weather provided a nice but humid day with temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s with some large raindrops added late in the day.
But, it was a great day to visit a coin show as evidenced by the many visitors throughout the morning and early afternoon hours.
As always, we appreciate our visitors, our dealers, our security team and the hotel's staff. Each of you contributes to the show each month and helps make it a fun place to visit for a few hours. Thank you to one and all.

For July, perhaps the hotel hosted golf events or maybe their guests took advantage of the attached golf course as we observed many golfers in the lobby and hallway areas.
Also, it's the season for baseball and softball. We saw several hotel guests in their uniforms ready for a game.
The show saw several new faces this month, both guests and dealers. Welcome to each of you. We hope you enjoyed the show and will return to visit future shows.
As we mention, people are welcome to bring items to be appraised by the dealers. Again this month, several visitors brought coins and currency, some inherited collections, to obtain a valuation.

Verbal evaluations at the show are free, and generally the dealers will also make an offer to buy the items. Guests are under no obligation to sell. As such, some will sell their items, while others choose to keep their treasures.
Some of our guests bring lists of items they want to add to their collections. Sometimes this is to fill missing holes in a specific collection. It could also be the desire to upgrade some of their items to higher grades.
As an oddity this month, one of our dealers had on display a 979.1 troy ounce silver bar. Frequently, silver bars are 1, 10, 100 or 1000 troy ounces. This is certainly an interesting size, heavy, too. That's just over 67 avoirdupois pounds, our day-to-day measurement of weight.
Several of our guests searched for Barber halves while many searched for silver in bullion, rounds and 90%.
With that in mind, let's take a look at just a few silver items seen at the show.

This first example is for all the Alabama football fans.
It's a one troy ounce silver bar featuring legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant on the obverse leaning against a goal post with a football at his feet, stadium bleachers in the background and "BEAR" along the bottom of the bar.
The reverse contains the quote: "If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards." His signature Paul "Bear" Bryant is shown below the quote along with the dates1913-1983.
The bottom of the reverse shows "Madison Mint" and ".999 fine silver one ounce" to describe the bar.
One resource on the internet claims there were only 1000 of these silver bars made.
True or not, this is a an interesting "art bar" to add to a silver collection.

Our next silver specimen is another "art bar". This one's obverse shows Santa with a bag of toys on a roof preparing to go down a chimney.
The reverse simply shows "ONE OZ. .999 FINE SILVER".
There is no mint specified nor is a date shown on this bar.
Interestingly, there are one ounce silver bars using this same design. One has an addition of 1972 but no mint. Another shows a date of 1981 with "Dahlonega Mint" shown on the reverse.
Even without a date or mint specification, this art bar makes a nostalgic addition to a silver collection. It would also make a fun Christmas gift, too.

This item is fine silver but could be considered a novelty as well.
It depicts the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.
The silver round's obverse shows an image of the King in front of a banner with stars. The round also includes his name "ELVIS PRESLEY" at the top, the years "1935" and "1977" midway below the banner, and the phrase "A GREAT AMERICAN" along the bottom.
The reverse depicts a state outline of Oregon with "LIMITED EDITION" at the top, "THE OREGON MINT" and "O.M." near the state outline with "ONE TROY OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER" across the bottom.
The Oregon Mint produced several variations of this Elvis Silver Round. Other reverse images include a teddy bear, a hound dog, a juke box and a wreath.
The Elvis silver round in fine silver could be a fun addition to a collection or an interesting gift for an Elvis fan.

Our last two examples for July are similar yet different.
The first depicts Mt. Rushmore on the obverse with "MT RUSHMORE" over the sculpture and "ONE OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER" below. The design adds a buffalo under the sculpture, maybe for scale.
The reverse shows "BLACK HILLS VACATION LAND" around the outside and simple triangles depicting mountains with the notable vacation areas of Devils Tower, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Needles Hwy, and Crazy Horse highlighted on the inside.
These Vacation Land silver rounds do not appear to be widely available.
Were they just minted for visitors to the area?
At .999 fine silver, they add a nice value along with the highlight of an American treasure.

Black Hills Vacation Land Crazy Horse One Ounce Silver Round
The last specimen is another Black Hills Vacation Land silver round, this time highlighting Crazy Horse.
The obverse contains "ONE TROY OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER" across the top and "CRAZY HORSE" along the bottom.
The design includes the hills of South Dakota in the background and a depiction of Crazy Horse in the foreground. A buffalo grazes in the mid-ground to the left of Crazy Horse.
This silver round has the same reverse as the Mt. Rushmore example.
Both of these fine silver rounds offer interesting ways to add value to a collection.
