Silver One Ounce Bars

1884-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

1986 American Gold Eagle One-Tenth Ounce Coin

2023-P Australian Silver Koala Coin

The October 2024 Greater Atlanta Coin Show was a busy place to spend a few hours with the bourse filled with dealers and the many visitors enjoying the displays of coins, currency, bullion and collectibles.

The October fall day presented temperatures in the 80s with low humidity under sunny skies. Just beautiful with the fall colors beginning to show.

The hotel had a busy Saturday night hosting a large wedding with some of their debris still evident during Sunday's show. Hope the wedding guests enjoyed themselves.

As has been usual this year, the October show welcomed many visitors. We appreciate all of you. We hope you enjoyed yourself and will come again.
Of course, in addition to our guests, we thank our dealers, our security team and the hotel's staff for making the show an interesting place to spend a few hours each month.

Have you been watching the metals increase in value, especially gold and silver? As a result, several people brought gold and silver items to sell at the higher prices.

Conversely, several people came to buy bullion items with a few searching for the smaller sizes of silver and fractional ounces of gold.

Again this month, we had some people with inherited items attend the show to learn their value and to discuss when and how to liquidate those items.
The show welcomed new, young guests who came to the show to learn more about the hobby. They found the show a good place to gain knowledge. We also advised them to investigate their local coin clubs, which also provide educational opportunities.

Let's look at just a few items from the October show.

SilverTowne Buffalo Replica one ounce silver bars
These are one ounce silver bars from the SilverTowne Mint out of Winchester, Indiana.

They describe their bars as Buffalo Replica containing one ounce of 0.999 fine silver.

One side, as shown, contains "United States of America" and the image of a buffalo.

The opposite side shows the image of an Indian with "Liberty" above and "1 oz .999 fine silver" below.
1884-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coin toned
"There are infinite shades, hues, and pattern variations seen, the result of how, where, and how long a coin is stored. Every coin begins to tone as it leaves the die, as all United States coins contain reactive metals in varying degrees."

Along with its silver content, this Morgan dollar contains blue, rose and gold colors across its obverse.

Oddly, the reverse does not display similar colorization.
Next, let's look at this beautifully toned 1884 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin minted in New Orleans.

PCGS CoinFacts (Professional Coin Grading Service) defined toning:
Some collectors search for and enjoy toned coins while others prefer coins to display their metal content as it left the minting process.

For those who enjoy toning, this coin provides interesting colors across George T. Morgan's Lady Liberty design.
Our first example this month highlights the interest in silver bullion.
The SilverTowne Buffalo Replica silver one ounce bar offers a beautiful way to add to a collection of silver.
2023-P Australian Koala Silver Coin
On the obverse, Artist Jody Clark portrayed Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the memorial obverse with "Elizabeth II," "1952-2022," "Australia," and "1 Dollar" around the design.

On the reverse, Artist Ing Ing Jong's depicted a baby koala atop its mother's back with the mother clinging to a tree among clusters of eucalyptus leaves. In addition, the design includes the inscription "Koala," "2023 1 oz 9999 silver," and the Perth Mint's "P" mint mark.
Next, we have a silver Koala from Australia's Perth Mint.

Australia began the Koala design in 2007 and have continued it each year as one of their most popular bullion silver coins.
Each year offers a new design, this 2023 version is a beautiful specimen of the Perth Mint's Koala silver coins.
1986 American Gold Eagle 1/10th ounce coin
The obverse of this American Gold Eagle coin is adapted from Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ famed Gold Double Eagle design where he featured Lady Liberty in front of our Capitol holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.

The reverse designed by Miley Busiek shows a male bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch to his nest, where a female awaits with their young.
Our last example for October is a gold lady from the American Gold Eagle coins.

The coin is dated MCMLXXXVI or 1986 for the first year of production.
With the price of gold rising recently, fractional gold, in this case 1/10th ounce,  is a great way to add the precious metal to your collection.
