The April Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed visitors on a nice spring day.
Guests wandered the show viewing the dealers' displays of coins, currency, bullion and other items. Visitors can buy, sell, trade or just enjoy looking among the many treasures.
Mother Nature's weather started with a dry morning that gave way to rain in the afternoon along with a few thundershowers with temperatures in the 70s.
We always appreciate our visitors, our dealers, our security and the hotel's staff as each of you help make the show fun and interesting each month.
Due to some schedule conflicts, the show enjoyed having a few new dealers showing their variety of items. Welcome to each of you. We hope you enjoyed the show and can join us again in the future.
In addition, this month we had a few old timers from quite a few miles away visit the show. We hope you enjoyed your time at the show. It was good to see you again.
In April, we had a few people bring inherited items for a free verbal appraisal in the current market. This month, most of those visitors chose to keep their items, which is perfectly okay.
Similarly, people that bring silver and gold items to sell at the show chose to keep those precious metals items in this market.
Instead, many of the show's guests searched for type coins such as Walking Liberty half dollar coins, Mercury dimes and large cents to name a few.
For grins, let's look at a few items from the April show.

Our first example is The Official Red Book A Guide Book of United States Coin 2026.
This book is the 79th edition and contains a wealth of information.
However, do not throw away your older years Red Books.
The publishers decided to delete the information describing the characteristics of the grades of the various coins.
The grading details were short and simple, however the information provided a great resource for those learning about coins and how they are graded.
The 2026 Red Book is still a good resource just does not contain as much detail as earlier editions.
Also, note the new edition is larger in size in comparison to recent years of the book.
Through the centuries, beverage makers have provided promotional products to market their brand to the buying public.
Beer, wine and alcohol makers provided a variety of products like glasses, coolers, fancy decanters, t-shirts and more.
One of the most enduring of those products is the pub jug--a ceramic pitcher that bartenders offered full of water for those who wanted to add a splash to their whiskey or cocktail.
A big segment of pub jugs show whiskey brands and might be called whiskey water jugs.
A large variety of these jugs exist and for some are a collector's dream. The older pitchers are generally ceramic while the newer ones are smaller and made of glass.
One or more of these pitchers would be an interesting addition to a bar, either at home or a business.
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) graded this twenty-five-dollar gold coin as MS 70.
It is presented with the authentic, hand-signed signature of David J. Ryder as the 34th and 39th Director of the US Mint.
With the price of gold rising, do the graded American Gold Eagle coins, especially with so many different designations, add value to the coin?
The answer lies in the eye of the beholder. Some may pay a premium, whereas others prefer just a gold coin.
The US Mint began production of the American Gold Eagle coins in 1986.
In 2022, they provided an opportunity for the grading companies to make several different designations for the coins. There were First Day of Issue associated with a variety of names. In addition, Early Releases and First Releases with another set of names. Plus, other graded presentations including the US flag.
Each bullion American Eagle Silver Dollar Coin is struck in 99.9% pure silver.
The US Mint packages the coins in green “Monster Boxes” containing 500 coins and ships them to their approved list of buyers in the bulk quantities they ordered.
These bullion purchasers then sell the bullion coins into the secondary market, to dealers as well as collectors and investors for a small markup.
Our last example is one of the bullion silver American Eagle coins.
The US Mint has a list of authorized bullion coin purchasers than began placing orders in early January for the 2025 American Eagle gold and silver bullion program coins and the American Buffalo gold bullion coins.
Some collectors buy the entire "Monster Box," some buy rolls, while others buy single coins.
Their value is tied to the silver market, however there is generally an additional premium for American Eagle Silver Dollar Coins.
This coin would add value to an American Eagle collection, to a group of silver, or to a brand new collection.
