Paper Money & Coin Collecting Info

Most fake silver coins are made from silvery metal alloys that weigh less than genuine silver. Weigh the coin in question; if the weight is wrong for the type, don't buy it! Even overweight coins are problematic, because they might be silver-plated lead.

There are many ways to collect Charlotte gold. Some people have only a mild interest in these coins and may buy just one or two pieces. Other people are more serious and they have a large number of Charlotte issues in their collection. A small number of Charlotte collectors are obsessives who focus exclusively on these pieces and do not collect anything else. I would like to make some suggestions on how to collect Charlotte gold. In my experience, all of these ideas have merit and none is better than the other. It depends on the tastes and budget of an individual collector to determine which one(s) is right for him.

Banknote enthusiasts enjoy individualist status; the hobby is regarded as intriguingly different. It has a certain prestige attached to it; people tend to assume that a banknote collector must be well-off - but this is often not the because many attractive banknotes can be obtained for well under 50p each. The hobby has a refreshing dignity to it; the banknote collecting fraternity is generally an honest, friendly community, with a genial camaraderie born of a common interest.

What do shipwrecks, the California gold rush, and the Civil War have in common? . . . $20 gold coins!

Sun, 20 May 2007 03:44:00 +0000
With all the current news about the $500 million shipwreck treasure of gold and silver coins recently discovered, I thought now would be a good time to revisit an earlier shipwreck also discovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration. That shipwreck was the SS Republic.

For those of you that have read my posts in the past or have seen my collection on the NGC Registry (click here to view the collection), you already know about my affinity for collecting $20 Gold Type 1 Double Eagles (1850-1866). The nice thing about the SS Republic was that it had plenty of $20 gold on it. Close to half my collection consists of gold from this shipwreck. Many of the coins are the top graded coins for that date and mintmark recovered from the wreck.

But instead of writing something myself about the SS Republic and $20 Type 1 Double Eagles, I am going to point you to a reprint of an article that appeared a couple of months ago in Numismatic News. The article tells the story of $20 Type 1 Double Eagles and their relationship to shipwrecks, the California Gold Rush, and the Civil War. This article will give you a good idea why myself and many others love to collect these coins.

As an aside, it is interesting how poorly high denomination U.S. notes have performed as an investment. Anyone would have fared much, much better by depositing the $500 or $1,000 in even a low-interest savings account in the 1940's or 1950's when these circulated, as the return would have been much higher than on a $500 or $1,000 bill. In fact, the return on $5,000 and $10,000 bills is very poor compared to other investments-yes, even the stock market, where despite the bear market of the last couple of years, $5,000 or $10,000 invested in stocks when these notes were printed would be worth many multiples of what these notes are now worth. The moral is, of course, that if you are "hanging on" to high denomination notes in the hopes that they are a good investment and will be worth much more one day, history is not encouraging.

Much of the really interesting US paper money is now very expensive. The very striking notes of the 1800s and early 1900s are now out of the price range of most casual collectors. Some people collect travelers' checks, and stocks and bonds, which might not be considered as paper money. Souvenir Cards (printed by people like ABNC) are a good way to see the beauty of currency.

U.S. Large Size (pre 1928) "Horseblanket" or "Saddleblanket" Notes. All U.S. currency made prior to 1928 is of a larger size than modern "small size" bills, hence the nicknames "Horseblanket" or "Saddleblanket." There were many different series and types of notes printed prior to 1928 by the Federal government, and values range from the very common 1923 $1 Silver Certificates (blue seals), worth from $10 to $100 depending on condition, to ultra-rarities that can be worth tens of thousands of dollars or more. If you come into possession of any "large size" bills, we suggest that you consult one of our currency experts here at CAA-Heritage to help you make a determination of value.
