I found this note ... what's it worth?

What’s it worth? 

Many folks will call or write asking the question, "What's it worth?"  They have inherited, been given, or found a note or coin and want desperately to know its value. So they contact us here at Treasuredstocks.com
When trying to discover the value of an ungraded note or coin, the following information may help
When we have an ungraded coin or paper note, we carefully research answers to the following questions, prior to placing a value on it. This research can take a great deal of time and effort.
- How many were made/printed and how many currently exist
- Auction results. We have over 30 years of auction and reference data
- How many people want them (supply and demand is important). For example, a note can be very sought after for its beauty and distinctive features.
-  The exact condition of the note or coin. Condition is everything! See below regarding grading.
-  If it’s a coin, the bullion value, sometimes referred to as the melt value
-   Is it (or could it potentially be) a counterfeit

Collectors world-wide rely on and trust an officially graded note. 
Here is an example of one.

We here at Treasuredstocks.com collect decades of data such as year of issue, location of issue, serial number, signatures, front and back pictures, colors, seals, and others. However, we are not able to identify or value ungraded coins or currency by telephone or email. 


Importantly, age, as a single statement of value, may hold little or no relevance. Same is true with the face value of the item (a one dollar note may be worth far more than a 100 dollar item). 

Please contact us at jeff@treasuredstocks.com or  870-670-4255  if you are interested in learning more about your note or coin. 


First, however, take a careful look at our site. With few exceptions, our notes and coins are graded. Grading fees, which can be extensive, have been added into the cost of the item. Grading by an official grading service such as PCGS or PMG is important because the item’s condition has been identified officially.

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.
