The January 2025 Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed many guests visiting our first show of the new year with our many dealers showcasing their coins, currency, bullion and other items.
The show occurred on a cool overcast winter's day with rain delaying until the show ended.
Being after the holidays, the hotel had light traffic with an Amway group in other parts of their conference space.
We appreciate all of you who contribute to the show each month: our guests, our dealers, our security and the hotel's staff. You are all important and thank you.
One of our schedule challenges each year is to miss the FUN show's dates in January. This year, our January show occurred just prior to the FUN show.

Several of our dealers packed for the Florida show and planned to head south after our show ended. Others planned to go home before heading south. We hope they had a productive and enjoyable FUN show.
People are welcome to bring items to sell. This month, several people brought sterling silver to determine market value and decide if they wanted to sell their items.
On the other hand, people also visited to buy gold and silver since their market prices had dropped slightly.
As usual some people just wanted to search for pieces to add to their existing collection. For example, a 9-year old boy just inherited a collector's nickel book and wanted to finish filling it.
Not quite as busy as the holiday shows, the January show was still a busy place to be.
For a quick view, let's look at a small sample from the show.

1886-S Gold Five Dollar Coin
Our first specimen is a Liberty Head Five Dollar Gold coin also known as a Half Eagle.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, this coin was a variety 2 produced in 1886 in San Francisco.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, this coin was a variety 2 produced in 1886 in San Francisco.
The PCGS CoinFacts shows this coin as being rather common. Of its initial more than three million mintage, they estimate 12,000 still exist today.
Our uncertified specimen shows much of the coin's original detail though it does have a few dings near its rim.
Even common and slightly dinged, this coin remains a nice representation of the Liberty Head gold five dollar coin of almost 140 years ago.

Silver Trade Unit
Our next example is stamped Silver Trade Unit and is also recognized as a silver round.
On one side is an eagle flying while holding a flag waving above it with stars across the top.
The opposite side shows a balance scale with ONE TROY OUNCE, 31.1 GRAMS, .999 FINE SILVER and SILVER TRADE UNIT struck in the design.
There are two versions of this silver round. One has the stars and is considered variety 2 while the first variety has no stars.
This silver round offers a different design and could be an interesting conversation piece added to a silver collection.

1880-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coin
Next, let's look at a beautiful Morgan Silver Dollar Coin.
The New Orleans Mint produced this coin in 1880 as one of over 5.3 million they struck for that year.
Today, PCGS CoinFacts estimates roughly 400,000 of the Morgan Dollars produced by New Orleans in 1880 have survived through the years.
The iconic Morgan Dollar remains a beloved collectible today whether as a certified coin, a part of a Morgan collection or a simple silver piece.
Though not certified, this coin would be a beautiful addition to either a Morgan dollar series or a silver dollar collection.

1962 Franklin Silver Half Dollar Coin
Our last example is a 1962 Franklin Silver Half Dollar Coin.
Begun in 1948, the Philadelphia, Denver and sometimes San Francisco mint locations produced the Franklin Half Dollar Coin.
The last year of production became 1963 after the rapid introduction of the Kennedy Half Dollar.
Of the over nine million of the Franklin Half Dollar Coins minted in Philadelphia in 1962, PCGS CoinFacts estimates 10% remain today.
This particular coin would make a nice addition to a Franklin series or to a silver collection.
