The July 2026 Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed visitors to a room filled with dealers and their showcases containing coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles.
Outside, Mother Nature provided humidity and intermittent thundershowers with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.
Here's a huge thank you to all of our guests, our dealers, our security and the Union Hall's staff for helping make the show an interesting place to visit for a few hours each month.
In July, the Florida United Numismatists hold their summer show. Several of our dealers attended the Summer F.U.N. show in Orlando during the week leading to our monthly show. F.U.N ended on Saturday, and some of our dealers chose to come back to our show while others decided on a leisurely trip back.

We appreciate those road warrior dealers who made it to the show. We also appreciate the guest dealers who substituted at several of the tables providing a different set of faces and a new set of inventory for guests to peruse.
In July, the food ladies returned to provide sandwiches and other goodies for everyone's enjoyment. The dealer's son also returned with his selection of drinks and snacks. They all plan to attend each show if scheduling conflicts do not occur,
Several visitors brought items to be appraised with the plan to sell them to the dealers. Many of these were gold and silver items.
On the opposite side, a guest dealer's specialty included silver ingots older than 1980. Several collectors find these items of special interest.
We had some new folks visiting the show and wanting to learn about collecting. Welcome. We hope you enjoy learning about numismatics and will return to future shows.

Some guests were returning visitors, however this was their first time at the new location. They were surprised by how spacious and easy the new location is to navigate, both in the parking lot and on the bourse.

Now, let's look at just a few examples of the bourse items.

Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire Brooch
Our next item is not a coin, currency, bullion or other numismatic related collectible.
However, it showcases the varied interests the dealers add to their numismatic displays.
This item contains several precious gemstones from diamonds to rubies to sapphires.
This would be a beautiful accent piece to a scarf or lapel.

1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent
Per PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), several of these were distributed in cigarette machines.
At that time a package of cigarettes cost 23 cents, but the machine could not make the small 2-cent change. Instead, two one-cent coins were placed in the cigarette package wrapper.
Several of the doubled die 1955 Lincoln Cent coins became distributed via the cigarette packages.

In 1955 the US Mint produced almost 331 million of the Lincoln Cent coins for circulation at their Philadelphia location.
During production, roughly 40,000 cent coins contained the obverse doubled die error.
After discovery, the US Mint destroyed roughly 16,000 of the coins while 24,000 went into circulation.

After discovery, the US Mint destroyed roughly 16,000 of the coins while 24,000 went into circulation.
Today, per PCGS estimates 15,000 of the doubled die 1955 Lincoln Cent Coins still exist with many of them in the XF to AU grading range.
This specimen easily shows the doubling on the obverse.
And, just think of the tales it could tell of its travels, perhaps in a cigarette packet along the way.

1880 Shield Five Cent Coin
Our next example comes to us from 1880.
The US Mint produced the Shield Five Cent Coin from 1866 to 1883.
Designed by John B. Longacre, the obverse shows a shield with the reverse defining the denomination with the number 5.
Early versions had rays between the stars on the reverse, but those were removed through the later years.
All of the Shield Five Cent Coins were struck the US Mint's Philadelphia location.
During the years from 1866 through 1876, Philadelphia produced millions of the coins.

All of the Shield Five Cent Coins were struck the US Mint's Philadelphia location.
During the years from 1866 through 1876, Philadelphia produced millions of the coins.
In 1877 and 1878, they only struck proof versions, while in 1879 they struck proof and a small number of circulation coins.
In 1880, the Mint reduced the circulation number to just 16,000 coins while their proof population was just under 4000 coins.
It's important to note that due to the low mintage of the circulating coins, they generally have a high value in the upper grades.
PCGS advises to be careful and consider buying professionally graded coins to make sure a poorly struck proof coin is not being passed off as a more expensive circulation coin of low mintage.

For example, this proof coin's value is in the low to mid four digit range in this grade.
But, a similar mint state grade for a circulation coin is in the low six digit value range.
This is a beautiful 1880 Shield Five Cent proof coin.

Gold American Eagle Tenth Ounce Coins
Today, gold and silver are trading much higher than in 2025, not as high as earlier in the year, but still much higher than last year.
This example goes to show there are smaller American Gold Eagle coins for someone who wants to own gold but not at the expense of a one ounce coin.
The US Mint strikes multiple sizes of the American Gold Eagle coins from the $5 tenth ounce to the $10 quarter ounce to the $25 half ounce to the $50 one ounce gold coins.
These lovely ladies with the St. Gaudens obverse design are the $5 Tenth Ounce American Gold Eagle coins.
They may be small, but they are beautiful and are easier to add to a collection than a full one ounce coin.
