1820 Ten Cent Coin - Small "0"
Five Dollar National Bank Note with Error
The November Greater Atlanta Coin Show enjoyed many people visiting the bourse and its dealers displaying coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles.
As always, we thank all of you who help make the show a success each month. We appreciate our visitors, our dealers, our security and the hotel's staff. Thank you, again, for your support.
Mother Nature provided a nice day in the upper 50s to low 60s with clouds and intermittent sunshine that turned to rain late in the day.
With the continued higher prices for gold and silver on the commodities' market, people brought silver and gold for appraisal and to sell.
Some people brought items just to learn what the items are and what they were worth in today's market, for example, coins, jewelry and sterling silver pieces.

Be aware, we do have the dates for the 2026 shows, our 39th year. With the January 2026 show, we will be at a new location.
You can obtain a 2026 flyer at the show. Plus, we will update the web site, the newsletters and the recorded message with the new location details after the December show and before the January show.
Of course, we will finish out the 2025 year at our current location.
Now, let's take a look at just a few items from the show.

Now, let's take a look at just a few items from the show.
Our first item for this month is an interesting 4-book set highlighting the gunmakers of America.
K.D. Kirkland wrote the books with one each for Remington, Colt, Browning and Winchester.
From the books' online description:
"America's great gunmakers are more than industrial entities. They are centers of exacting craftsmanship and precision engineering, and they are truly living legends.
"American gunmakers built not only the guns that won the Wild West but the guns that won both World Wars, and which today delight demanding sportsmen the world over.

"This is a carefully researched and illustrated set of books with more than 500 photographs telling the full story of the American firearms gunmakers.
"This classic set is a treasure sure to delight any gun enthusiast, whether sportsman or historian."

The next example comes from the Lincoln Cent Coin family and is perhaps one of the most popular.
When first minted, the 1909 Lincoln cent coin contained VDB initials on its reverse representing its designer, Victor David Brenner.
However, after the coins began distribution, some people complained that the initials were too prominent and provided the designer with free advertizing.
When first minted, the 1909 Lincoln cent coin contained VDB initials on its reverse representing its designer, Victor David Brenner.
However, after the coins began distribution, some people complained that the initials were too prominent and provided the designer with free advertizing.
As a result, the Mint removed the initials from the dies.
During its short production, the San Francisco Mint location produced just 484,000 of the coins making the Lincoln 1909-S VDB cent coin a rarity.
Today, PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) estimates only 50,000 of the 1909-S VDB coins still exist across all grades.
In the second edition of the "100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, the 1909-S VDB cent coin ranked 14th due in part to its background story and in part to its popularity.

In 1820, the Mint struck 942,587 capped bust ten cent coins. However, there were varieties. The most prevalent included the "0" in the date being either small or large.
Our example is the small "0" variety. In the lower grades, the two varieties are comparable, but in the higher grades, the small "0" becomes more desirable and brings a higher value.
In their survival guide, PCGS estimates 75 of these coins remain today across all grades with ten of those being MS60 and above and two of the ten being MS65 and above.

The US Mint produced the Capped Bust Dime coin from 1809-1837.
During its early years, the Mint sporadically produced the coins at their Philadelphia location, skipping several years.

Even with a PCGS grade of VG08, this coin would be an interesting addition to a collection.
Our last specimen for this month is a Five Dollar National Bank Note from the Boylston National Bank of Boston, Massachusetts.
The note is from the Third Charter period and is considered a Blue Seal with a Date Back from the 1902 Series.
The note is from the Third Charter period and is considered a Blue Seal with a Date Back from the 1902 Series.
Banks switched from the Red Seal to the Blue Seal, Date Back, as a result of the Aldrich-Vreeland Act. These notes were issued from 1908 to 1915.
The front has the bank's charter number and the seal stamped in blue while the back has 1902 to 1908 added.
However, take a look at the front of this Five Dollar National Bank Note. There is only one blue stamped charter number, the "N 545", and the blue Treasury Seal is missing.
Since the charter number should be just barely to the right of President Benjamin Harrison's portrait, it appears this sheet of notes were moved during the stamping process such that the blue items did not fully imprint.

The elements on the note include the "545" as the bank's charter, the "5159" as the bank's serial number, the "N" in front of "545" as the geographical location of the bank, the Treasury serial number in the upper right, the Treasury signatures at the top, the bank signatures at the bottom, the engraved plate date, the plate position letter and the bank's title.
And, of course, the Treasury Seal should be in the blank area in the lower right of the note.
The Boylston National Bank of Boston began in 1864 and was liquidated in 1923. They issued notes in total value of $5,507,800 across a variety of types.
At their close in 1923, a total of $380,000 Boylston National Bank Notes remained outstanding.
This note provides an interesting look back into the variety of National Bank Notes before they were discontinued in favor of our US Currency.
