The November 2024 Greater Atlanta Coin Show welcomed many guests to a bourse filled with dealers and their displays of coins, currency, bullion and collectibles.
Mother Nature provided a beautiful day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the high 60s. For some this is t-shirt weather. For others it was a light jacket. It was a gorgeous day to be out and about.
Once again, the hotel also welcomed a chiropractic group to enjoy other parts of their conference space. Perhaps a few of them visited the coin show too.
Our November show saw lots of visitors, some returning guests while many were new to the coin show experience. We appreciate all of our visitors. We hope our guests enjoyed themselves and will come again.

As always, we appreciate our dealers, our security team and the hotel's staff for making the show a fun and intriguing event each month.
A few of our dealers came to the show from either the large Baltimore show or the nearby Augusta show. We're glad you made it back for this show. People from the Baltimore show mentioned the market was strong there.
Some of our visitors brought inherited items to learn about their value and importance. Of those, some decided to sell, and some chose to keep their valuables.

Have you been watching the precious metals market, especially gold and silver? Gold especially has achieved new heights. As a result, several of our visitors reminisced about historical gold and silver prices. Older guests could remember when gold's value was in the $300 range.
This month, we had a number of young people becoming budding numismatists. Welcome, we hope you had fun and will get your parents to bring you to future shows.
Some people coming to the show looked for specific items for their collections while others looked for bullion items. Some of the new people came to learn about the show, coins, bullion and collecting in general.
Of course in a group of people, discussions also diverted to ball games and current events too.
For now, though, let's look at a few silver items from the November show.

Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar Coins
First, we have three lovely ladies from the Carson City mint in the early 1880s.
George Morgan designed this silver dollar than began production in 1878 and ended in 1921 after a short hiatus begun in 1905.
These three ladies have different dates, 1880, 1883 and 1884.
The 1880 Carson City Morgan Silver dollar coin had a mintage of 591,000 while the 1883 had 1,204,000 and the 1884 had 1,136,000.

In addition to having the smallest production of the three, the 1880CC Morgan Dollar has several different varieties.
This one appears to be the third reverse but without any doubled date numbers.
Though not considered a key date coin, the 1880CC Morgan Dollar is an interesting specimen.
In fact, the whole Morgan Dollar series is interesting, especially considering the hoards that were found in various vaults.
Could they speak, these three lovely ladies would have interesting tales to tell.

1984 Sunshine Mint Silver One Ounce Round
Our next treasure is a silver round containing one troy ounce of .999 fine Silver from the Sunshine Mint.
Dated 1984, this round displays the original Sunshine Mint design.
Dated 1984, this round displays the original Sunshine Mint design.
The obverse contains the Sunshine Mint's eagle with the sun and its rays in the background. The words SUNSHINE across the top and SILVER along the bottom in addition to four stars complete the round's obverse design.
They list the weight and purity on the reverse along with the Sunshine Minting name.
Due to its age, this round also has some toning, however the round still retains its silver value and would be a nice addition to a silver collection.

1985 Mexican Libertad Silver One Ounce Coin
Our next silver specimen is a coin from Mexico.
This coin is the one ounce of .999 fine silver Libertad struck at the oldest mint in North America.
Considered Mexico's treasure coin, the Casa de Moneda de Mexico mint, established in 1535, produced this version of the Libertad in 1985.
This coin is the one ounce of .999 fine silver Libertad struck at the oldest mint in North America.
Considered Mexico's treasure coin, the Casa de Moneda de Mexico mint, established in 1535, produced this version of the Libertad in 1985.
On the obverse are two key symbols of the Mexican people: the Winged Victory statue in the forefront and the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl in the background. The mintmark is displayed next to Victoria's head and "1 onza pura plata" is written on the sides for the coin's purity. In addition, "1985 Mexico Ley .999" is shown along the bottom.
The reverse of the coin exhibits Mexico's national seal, a tall eagle balancing on its talons holding a snake in its mouth. Above the historical seal is the legend "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" (United Mexican States).

This one ounce Libertad coin has found popularity among silver bullion collectors.
1990 Indian Head Silver One Ounce Round
Our last example for this month is another silver round. This one is a little odd.
Its obverse design's portrait is very similar, if not exact, to the Indian Head Cent's obverse design.
The reverse shows a wreath with a shield at the top and listed in the center is "one troy ounce silver .999."
Its obverse design's portrait is very similar, if not exact, to the Indian Head Cent's obverse design.
The reverse shows a wreath with a shield at the top and listed in the center is "one troy ounce silver .999."
Its minted design is simple, however someone has added information to the obverse with what appears to be a punch kit.
Along the top, they added "L.A. Kuhta," "19" and "90" on either side of the portrait and "Y.O.G. CO." along the bottom.
Searches for similarly stamped silver rounds did not yield readily available information.

Does this stamped information add value? Detract?
In reality, the silver round still has its one ounce of .999 fine silver. In most cases that is where the round's value can be found.
This odd round could become an interesting conversation piece as people speculate on the added elements.
