One of the most exciting and totally intuitive ways to launch a currency collection set is to “begin” with the beginning of this great nation. So many new collectors are deciding to build their own historical collection by creating an heir-loom group of colonial notes. Because all 13 original colonies initiated their own currency notes, numismatists young and old are able to “acquire” and put together a collection of notes from all 13 of the original colonies.
Though the perception is that these notes are of a premium price, collectors are still able to find and purchase notes from all 13 colonies for a relatively fair price. Once the original collection is in place, these collectors will adjust, upgrade, and “fine-tune” their collections by seeking notes with higher grades.
Collections with all 13 colonies are then passed down from generation-to-generation, as family heirlooms, pride in our country, and outstanding investments.
But affordable prices will NOT last! Hoards of new currency collectors are reaching retirement age, are considering the potential of a 13-colony set collection, and are “in droves” contributing to higher demand and higher prices. Additionally, colonial notes were subject to a great deal of counterfeiting. Thus, graded and authenticated colonial notes are increasingly scarce and selling for higher and higher prices.
Adding to the scarcity of these precious 13 colony colonial notes, is their age and the relatively humble printing and paper quality of the notes. Thus, the problem of moisture and the normal use wear and tear that paper endures has had a dramatic effect on the quality and quantity still available. Likewise, a large number of colonial notes that were stashed away in homes and banks were lost forever during the San Francisco Earthquake and Chicago Fire disasters.
THE most common way to start a colonial note set collection is by purchasing a note from each of the 13 original colonies. Treasuredstocks.com has full colonial note set collections available. We also have graded and authenticated notes from each of the 13 Colonies. Prices are fair and reasonable – but these prices are destined to increase dramatically.
