As Atlanta Gold & Coin noted in a recent post, at the time of publication, customer demand for gold & silver coins was considerably greater than the supply then available. The original article reported a lengthy notification list for customers awaiting particular products to return to stock. Even so, Atlanta Gold & Coin had recently completed several acquisitions and, at publication, reported several newly available gold & silver coin selections for customers. What follows was a partial inventory list of items recently added at that time:
Gold Coins
American gold eagles – The original article reported that a limited quantity of American Gold Eagle coins had been acquired that Friday, including 1 oz and 1/2 oz varieties. When this article was originally published, American Gold Eagles were among the coins customers had requested most often in the preceding weeks, and the article anticipated that this limited group would sell quickly.
St. Gaudens gold coins – The St. Gaudens $20 gold coin was described as one of the most widely sought and admired of all coins issued by the United States. Its obverse carries the familiar walking Lady Liberty design, while its reverse shows an eagle in flight. At the time of publication, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported having several strong certified examples of St. Gaudens gold coins. Each had received an NGC certification in MS64 condition. The original article also stated that only a few years earlier these coins had sold for as much as $2,000. Readers were invited at publication to call about acquiring one or more coins at a fraction of that cited price.
U.S. Modern Commemorative Gold Coins – At the time of publication, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported offering $5 & $10 U.S. modern commemorative gold coins at prices the original article characterized as industry leading. Although these coins were not as commonly encountered as pre-1933 gold coins or American Gold Eagles, the article explained that they remained desirable because they were minted by the U.S. and were legal tender. For readers unfamiliar with modern commemorative gold coins, it noted that they contain the same gold content as $5 & $10 Indian & Liberty Head gold coins. The original article presented them as a reasonably priced route to government-issued gold coins.
Silver Coins
90% Silver Half Dollars – When this article was originally published, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported acquiring that morning a limited quantity of 90% silver Kennedy, Franklin, and Walking Liberty half dollars. At that time, 90% silver coins were described as the industry’s hottest silver-coin category, and the article noted enthusiasm about offering them to customers. It also stated that these coins were sold at rates more competitive than local competitors and major online coin dealers. The publication asked why a buyer would pay more online for 90% silver half dollars when payment and immediate possession could occur together. Readers were invited then to call to reserve coins while supplies lasted.
Canadian silver maple leaf coins – Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins were described as the most popular government-issued .999 fine silver coins after American Silver Eagles. At the time of publication, the article reported that American Silver Eagles were unavailable, but that a moderate supply of mint-fresh tubes of Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins was being sold at competitive rates. Every tube consisted of 25 coins and contained brilliant uncirculated pieces. The article presented these coins as an option for people who preferred .999 fine silver but did not wish to pay a substantial markup over bullion rates.
Morgan & Peace silver dollars – Atlanta Gold & Coin had mentioned in a few weeks back that prices for several silver-coin categories had stayed relatively firm despite declining silver prices. The article identified Morgan and Peace silver dollars as the clear leaders, with exceptionally high demand at the time of publication. It stated that, as with its other gold and silver coin offerings, Atlanta Gold & Coin aimed to lead on low selling cost, and that these coins were included in that approach. Multiple grades were then available, from ordinary circulated condition through brilliant uncirculated. The article also reported receiving certified Morgan and Peace dollars back from NGC. It described these coins as a way to participate in the numismatic market without spending beyond one’s means.
At the time of original publication, the article described the following: The original article cautioned that inventory changed daily and stated that Atlanta Gold & Coin was an active buyer of numismatic U.S. coins along with gold and silver bullion coins. At publication, readers were invited to check our inventory page frequently or call 404-236-9744 when seeking a particular item. As a reminder, the article said Atlanta Gold & Coin was still working actively with suppliers and could order items for readers if they were not then in stock.
