The coin show promoter and bourse chairman is Bob O'Brien. He began his lifelong interest in numismatics as a young child and continues to be fascinated with coins and currency 60 or so years later.
At the coin show, you can readily find him at the first table on the right as you enter the bourse. He might wander the bourse looking at the various treasures, but he remains busy at his table most of the time.
Visit the Contact Us page for how to contact him between shows.

The 2026 monthly Greater Atlanta Coin Shows are the thirty-nineth year of the monthly coin shows.
In its history, the coin show has been in a few venues in the North Metro area. One hotel was our home for a number of years, but they would not renew our contract for 1996. Instead, they wanted their space available for potential rental associated with the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games.
The next hotel was a good location for several years as well, but a fire closed that venue.
The third hotel provided excellent service for a couple of years, but their limited parking challenged the ability of both coin dealers and guests to enjoy the show.
Our fourth location was a great place with easy access and lots of parking, but issues outside our control forced us to find a new location for 2011.
Our fifth location served us for fifteen years, but their proposed contract for 2026 put us in an undesirable location of the hotel.
We begin our sixth location in 2026 at the IAM Union Hall at 1032 South Marietta Parkway, which has easy access from main roads nearby.

Coin Show - General Information
For obvious reasons, coin shows require security. The Greater Atlanta Coin Show utilizes multiple security officers.
These officers observe the activity on the bourse and work to obstruct the success of potential criminal intent.
If you would like assistance taking valuables to your vehicle, just alert Bob and they can help you.
Of course, safety is never guaranteed, however, the security officers work diligently to make the coin show as safe as possible.

The IAM Union Hall offers a large space for the coin show allowing for spacious aisles. Plus, they have a large parking lot with almost flat access to the open hall.
In 2026, we start the thirty-nineth year of monthly coin shows. Some early years we did thirteen shows, and in a small handful of years we missed a month. Once was due to a hotel fire, another was a spring ice storm and still another was hotel renovation delays. Of course, COVID impacted the show dates as well.
During the previous 38 years ending in December 2025, we completed 453 monthly coin shows around the issues listed above.
The coin show is still fun and still going strong! We welcome all visitors ranging from the regulars we see each month to the new, never-been-to-a-coin-show attendees. Remember, admission is free.
