The final two months of the year were typically Atlanta Gold & Coin’s busiest period, and the original article said that 2013 followed that pattern. It reported active coin buying and selling throughout the year, with momentum continuing into 2014. At publication, the business announced recently acquired gold and silver coins it was offering at what it called industry-leading rates.
At the time of original publication, the article described the following: The original article provided the following partial list of its most recent offerings at publication:
- American silver eagles: During that year, Silver Eagles were generally difficult to obtain because demand was unprecedented. The U.S. Mint sold more than 43 million one-ounce Silver Eagles in 2013, surpassing the prior record from 2011. At the time of publication, demand had remained strong in 2014. The article characterized the then-available rolls as an opportunity while supplies lasted.
- American gold eagles: Demand for American Gold Eagles was strong throughout the prior year, much like demand for Silver Eagles. The original article said they had been hard to keep in stock, but that a few one-ounce Gold Eagles were available for a limited time at publication. It also noted a slight gold-price rise in the preceding week, while describing prices as still very low compared with a couple of years earlier.
- At the time of original publication, the article described the following: Canadian gold maple leaf coins: Alongside American Gold Eagles and South African Krugerrands, Canadian Gold Maple Leafs were described as among the world’s most popular gold coins. The article called them the most popular 24k gold coin and a choice for people emphasizing purity. At publication, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported several in stock but noted that bulk sales could deplete that supply quickly.
- At the time of original publication, the article described the following: Junk Silver Coins: During the preceding year, the article said people had largely stopped calling pre-1965 90% silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars “junk silver coins,”. These coins had become popular with both investors and collectors, and supplies had been very hard to find. Premiums had risen to levels comparable with American Silver Eagles. Although supply had grown more plentiful and premiums had returned near historical levels by publication, the coins still saw strong demand, particularly from buyers seeking silver in bulk.
- Morgan & Peace silver dollars: As noted earlier, demand for silver coins in 2013 was nearly unprecedented, including demand for Morgan and Peace dollars. As with the other items discussed, supplies had increased and premiums had subsequently declined. The original article stated that Atlanta Gold & Coin could likely meet needs for common-date Morgan and Peace dollars, Carson City dollars, and other low-mintage or rare-date coins.
- At the time of original publication, the article described the following: Silver Proof Sets: Atlanta Gold & Coin described itself as an active buyer of estate and inherited coins and reported regularly purchasing silver proof sets, including sets minted in 1964 and earlier, as well as sets produced in 1992 and later. A recent inventory review had shown a substantial number of these sets, which the business reported offering in bulk at publication. The article presented that historical availability as an opportunity for collectors considering proof sets.
The listed coins and sets represented only part of the inventory Atlanta Gold & Coin reported having in stock when this article was published. It said other items could be found through its inventory page, and readers were invited then to contact the business at 404-236-9744. The article also stated that the business was buying coins and bullion and invited potential sellers, including owners of rare, old, or numismatic collections, to call then to arrange an appointment. It concluded by saying it looked forward to hearing from readers and earning their business.
