When this article was published, Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers, Kudzu’s 2014 Atlanta coin dealer of the year, described itself as one of the Southeast’s leading dealers for 90% silver coins. Dimes, quarters, and half dollars minted in 1964 and earlier were commonly called junk silver coins because their worth was primarily based on silver content. Yet 90% silver coins were described as far from “junk.” The article reported that these were among the coins Atlanta Gold & Coin bought and sold most often, due to modest premiums, substantial production and availability, familiar market recognition, and smaller denominations. It also noted their appeal to people concerned that a barter economy might someday return.
The original article said Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers stood apart through competitive historical buy and sell rates. It described the business as comfortable with narrow margins because it primarily operated as a volume market maker for these coins. That did not mean local sellers with only $500 in cash-value coins were unwelcome, although the article said larger quantities were more typical. Its stated preference had always been local transactions, while it also reported being a national buyer and seller of 90% silver coins. At publication, its standard rates were described as among the nation’s highest, with preferred rates also offered for larger volumes, repeat customers, and industry customers.
At the time of publication, the article reported that its inventory of 90% coins, along with other gold, silver, platinum coins, and bullion, could be found here. It also reported a recent over-the-counter purchase of a $500 face-value bag of 90% half dollars, containing Walking Liberty, Franklin, and Kennedy halves. That bag was being offered then to people seeking bulk junk silver. The original article stated that buyers interested in $50 face value or more of 90% silver coins were invited to contact the business.
