The September 2026 Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed lots of visitors to a bourse filled with dealers and their displays of coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles.

Visitors are welcome to wander the bourse, look at the various treasures and perhaps buy, sell or trade with the dealers. Of course, visitors may just look at the history represented in the showcases as well.

Summer still showed on the calendar, and Mother Nature kept the temperature rather hot along with a high humidity after the rain on Saturday.

Even though the temperatures are hot, there is a feeling of fall in the air with some leaves starting to drop and the angle of the sun noticeably changing. Cooler temperatures will be upon us soon.

Thank you to all the people who contribute to the show each month from our visitors, to our dealers, to our security, to the food ladies, and to the IAM Union Hall's staff. You all make the show a fun place to spend a few hours once a month.

The show enjoyed a lot of visitors with many of them being young children. It's great to see the younger people wanting to learn more about the numismatic hobby and the history behind each collectible.
A coin show is a great place to introduce young people to the study of coins and currency. There are many dealers in one place who display a wide variety of coins and currency both domestic and international. The young folks can view the displays, ask questions and get an idea of where they want to focus their interest in the future.

Once again, the new $100 currency note with President Trump's signature was on display. This new currency should be available in circulation from area banks. Will it be collectible in the future and worth more than face value? Who knows, but there will be people putting new bills in protective currency sleeves to save for the future.

There was a definite collectible $500 currency note in one dealer's display. More interesting, it was a 1928 Gold Certificate $500 note. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced 420,000 of the notes.

In 1933 the Gold Reserve Act required that all Gold Certificate notes be surrendered. Later in 1964, the Secretary of the Treasury removed restrictions on the Gold Certificates and allowed numismatists to obtain them for their collections.
With the low production and the requirement to surrender the notes, only a few of the $500 Gold Certificate notes remain.

Going the opposite direction in face value, people looked at the 1909 S-VDB Lincoln Cent. This coin is one of the keys to the Lincoln wheat cents due to the brouhaha about the designer's initials being on the introductory Lincoln Cent coin. These coins are always fun to find and view.

Some people came to the show with an interest in Barber half dollar coins. They brought lists to look for additions to their collections. Several of our dealers have Barber coins on display for sale.

Another half dollar brought interest. This one came from the classic commemoratives and represented the efforts for the Stone Mountain carving. The US Mint produced just over 1.3 million of the Stone Mountain Memorial Half Dollar in 1925. This distribution of this coin helped fund the memorial.
Some people came to the show looking for American Gold Eagles. The US Mint made them in four different weights and denominations from 1/10 to one ounce from $5 to $20, but all would be priced based on the current gold market.

Did you know the US Mint produced a gold coin this year in the shape of the Liberty Bell? The coin helps recognize the 250th anniversary of our independence. A dealer on the bourse had one on display. The Liberty Bell coin contains one ounce of .9999 gold and has a face value of $250. They limit the production to 2026 coins. Per the usmint.gov website, the Liberty Bell coin can still be ordered at $19,600 but is not currently available.

Of course, a few people brought their collections of 90% silver coins to be appraised and sold at current silver market prices.

Each month the show remains busy. The comments above are just a small sampling of the many different items found on the bourse.

Make a reminder note and visit our next show to enjoy the fun and camaraderie on the bourse.
