Friedberg numbers explained ...

"What is a Friedberg Number and
why is  it important," you ask ...

This  note has  Friedberg (Fr.) # 1609
Friedberg  Numbers  have become a very popular numbering system for United States Currency.   

As a kind of reference and number system (not  unlike the Dewey Decimal System of cataloging print materials that many libraries use), the Friedberg Number refers to Arthur L. and Ira S. Friedberg’s Paper Money of the United States, the continuously updated, authoritative reference of US currency.   Thus, Friedberg Numbers are reference numbers enabling collectors and dealers to check years, even decades, of information relative to the scarcity and value of notes.

Treasuredstocks.com includes Friedberg Numbers for our legitimate US currency items. 

Treasuredstocks.com is very proud to be able to list some of the most precious and valuable currency items in the world. We have over 4,000 items to choose from with huge variety and selections.

How to Start a Currency Collection

I want to start collecting coins and currency items; where do I start?

Collectors of coins and currency do so for many reasons. One of the most common collector is the hobiest who collects more for fun and appeal, rather than profit. Often, this attraction begins as a child who, by chance or purpose, receives an item that is both fascinating and historical.

An increasingly popular reason to pursue collecting of coins and currency is to do so as an investment Persons who use collections as a kind of investing do so with the idea that the value of the items, in singular or total, will increase over time. Supply and demand is the key concept here as well as a critical understanding that collections do not “make” money until they are sold and may even incur costs, such as the costs of safe and secure storage.

A third type of collector is the person who acquires a collection via inheritance. This person may or may not have any real interest in the items but appreciates potential value.

One great advantage we have today is the internet. For example, take a careful look around our Treasuredstocks.com web site and you will see over 4,000 items, of all categories, grades, and prices, all graded and all in full color view. And now a bit about grading. A graded item allows collectors to speak the same language when it comes to the condition of the item.

The term “Numismatics” refers to the study or collecting of coin/currency. A numismatist is someone who does this by hobby or profession. Here is a great web site to use, when learning more about such an exciting field. There’s even several links specifically designed for children.
