The September Greater Atlanta Coin Show enjoyed many guests visiting the bourse among the dealers' displays of coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles.
We recognized returning visitors and saw many new faces also. All are welcome regardless of new or recurring status.
Of course, we appreciate all of you who contribute to the show - our visitors, our dealers, our security and the hotel's staff. All of you make the show an interesting place to spend a few hours each month.
Guests visiting the show are welcome to enjoy the different displays whether you are buying, selling, trading or just looking at the various items on display.
Outside, Mother Nature provided a nice day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. Early September is still summer on the calendar, but you can see hints of fall with brighter blue skies and the different angles of the sunlight.

The show welcomed more young people to the show, brought by their parents. The young folks were just getting started and had many questions. A coin show is a good place to learn about the many numismatic items and how to collect them.
With gold prices increasing, a person brought some gold nuggets found at Crisson's Mine in Dahlonega for evaluation and to sell.
Another person came to the show looking for high grade large cents to fill in their collection.

Some people wanted to understand the 1943 copper cent coins. The MInt produced steel cents in 1943, however they struck just a few copper coins in error. It's always interesting to look for the errors, however any found need to be checked by a magnet. Some deceptive people coated steel cents in copper.
People questioned how to distinguish the 1982 small date one cent coin. One resource is the Red Book. Another is VarietyPlus by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) on their web site.
Someone brought a colonial replica coin that were distributed in cereal boxes in the 1950s.
Several people talked about viewing some of the YouTube videos discussing Lincoln Cent errors. Those videos can be interesting, however they can set the wrong expectations. Many Lincoln Cent errors exist, but only a few have value - meaning numismatists find only a few desirable to collect.
On a different note, someone brought a check signed by Red Skelton. That generated fond memories of his show and the many characters he played including Clem Kadiddlehopper and Freddie the Freeloader among others.
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 is a 1993 American Silver Eagle Dollar Coin.
Being the month of September, this coin subtly recognizes the anniversary of the World Trade Center Towers falling.
PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) certified this coin as a Gem Uncirculated 9-11-01 WTC Ground Zero Recovery American Silver Eagle Dollar Coin.
The US Mint struck and issued this 1993 American Silver Eagle Dollar Coin. The coin contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver.

The US Mint struck and issued this 1993 American Silver Eagle Dollar Coin. The coin contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
The WTC Ground Zero Recovery coins were recovered after the 9/11 attacks and include American Silver Eagles, American Gold Eagles, and various foreign coins.
Certified by PCGS, these coins were previously contained in vaults in World Trade Center Tower 4 and sold to raise money for charity.
This coin holds both historical and numismatic value, making it an intriguing piece for collectors and investors alike.

Our next specimen is a 1971 Eisenhower Silver Dollar Type 1 Reverse certified by NGC as PF 69 Ultra Cameo.
NGC defines PF 69 as "a fully struck coin with nearly imperceptible imperfections."
They also define Ultra Cameo: "Applies only to PF coins. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are heavily frosted for bold contrast on both sides of the coin."
The Type 1 Reverse has three islands visible beneath Florida to the EAST. In addition, the crater above letters LA of DOLLAR has no outline and no smaller craters inside it.
With its mirror-like finish and "three islands," this coin adds interest to a collection.

Our next example is a fun one where the Mint used dollar coin obverse and reverse dies on a one cent planchet.
The US Mint's process uses blank rounds called planchets which are then struck with the particular coin's obverse and reverse dies to produce the coin.
In this case a blank one cent planchet was struck twice by the 1973 Eisenhower dollar dies.
The result is this error coin certified by NGC as Mint Error PF 65 RB Double Struck on 1C Planchet (3.1g).
Of course the Eisenhower dollar coin generally used a silver or a clad planchet and would not have the RB (Red Brown) designation.
Perhaps this error coin doesn't have a broad market outside of error collectors, but it is still fun to look at and consider how the error occurred in the minting process.

This round, however, is not a coin in that it does not have a face value.
Its silver content does have value and would be more than the face value of a Morgan dollar coin.
Several manufacturers of silver rounds use the George T. Morgan designs with slight variations from company to company.

In view of the increases in the silver market, our last example is a silver round containing one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver.
The design honors that of George T. Morgan and the Morgan dollar produced by the US Mint during the time span of 1878-1921.

The round's obverse shows Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with the motto "Liberty" inscribed in the headband and "E Pluribus Unum" across the top of the design.
The reverse contains the Eagle with wings outstretched and the inscriptions "United States of America," "One Troy Oz," and ".999 Fine Silver."
Though not a Morgan Dollar Coin, this silver round depicts the beauty of the George T. Morgan design and would be a nice addition to a silver round collection.
