When this article was originally published, Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers extended Happy Labor Day Weekend wishes to readers. The original article stated that customers could be seen by appointment throughout that weekend, including Monday, at the Johns Creek office. To recognize the holiday and thank customers, the original article advertised exclusive Labor Day weekend specials while supplies lasted. What follows was presented as a sample of those limited-time offers:
- American silver eagles – During the originally published Labor Day weekend, American silver eagles were advertised for sale in quantities of 60 or more coins at $3 above silver’s spot price. The original article reported that silver closed that Friday at $19.46 per ounce, producing an advertised price of $22.46 per coin. Although American silver eagle sales were somewhat below the pace established in 2013, the article said 2014 was becoming one of their strongest years. With silver then below $20 an ounce, it characterized the offer as a low-price opportunity.
- Junk silver coins – For readers unfamiliar with “junk silver,” the term described 90% silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 or earlier. The original article explained that the name “junk” reflected that these coins were chiefly traded for their silver content. At publication, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported accumulating more than $100 face value in “off quality” junk silver coins and advertising the entire group at melt value for that weekend only. Readers were invited at publication to check Coinflation.com for the then-current melt value. The coins were offered as one lot, so the article described one chance to obtain the deal.
- Modern Commemorative Silver Dollars – At the time of publication, all modern commemorative silver dollars then in stock in caps, or hard plastic holders, were advertised at $20 each. The original inventory was described as a broad assortment of silver dollars minted from 1983 through the publication period. Most were common-date coins, though some could carry somewhat higher values because of demand or mintage. The article also reported additional choices for readers seeking better-date modern commemorative silver dollars in their original government packaging.
- At the time of original publication, the article described the following: Generic Silver Rounds & Bars – For the originally published holiday weekend, generic one-ounce bars and rounds were advertised at only $1.25 over spot. The article reported that much of the bullion then in stock was recognizable, while every item was stamped to identify it as pure silver bullion. It further listed name-brand Engelhard and Johnson Matthey bars and rounds, including a 100 oz Johnson Matthey silver bar, as being offered at bargain rates at that time.
- At the time of original publication, the article described the following: Morgan & Peace dollars – At publication, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported having a fair number of worn or slightly off-quality Morgan and Peace dollars, meaning silver dollars minted in 1935 and earlier, advertised for that weekend at $22 each. The original article also described average-condition and high-end Morgan and Peace dollars as available at competitive industry rates. All silver dollars, regardless of condition, were said to be discounted for the holiday weekend.
- $20 & $10 St. Gaudens & Liberty Head gold coins – As referenced in a recent post, the original article reported a substantial number of St. Gaudens, $20 Liberty Head, $10 Liberty Head, and $10 Indian Head gold coins in stock at publication. It stated that the average-condition coins had already been purchased, while high-end gold coins, including uncirculated examples and coins graded by PCGS or NGC, were then discounted. Pricing was described as varying with condition.
The original article described the preceding items as only a sample of Labor Day weekend deals being offered at publication. At that time, readers were invited to contact Atlanta Gold & Coin at 404-236-9744 or 404-907-1919, or email sales@atlantagoldandcoin.com, to arrange an appointment concerning one of those weekend offers. The publication expressed appreciation for the opportunity to earn readers’ business.
