St. Anthony, Idaho -- NBN description

Idaho National Bank Notes – St. Anthony

Historically, the Idaho Territory was launched under President Abraham Lincoln. Idaho was the 43rd state to join the union and became part of the United States back on 3 July, 1890. 

These dates are significant because Saint Anthony is the county seat for Fremont County and Fremont County, Idaho was the very first county created immediately after Idaho entered the Union -- organized by the legislature in 1893. Fremont County was named after the famous Western American surveyor and explorer, John C Fremont. Having been officially recognized in 1888, Saint Anthony was established years prior to Idaho’s statehood and the instituting of Fremont County.

Located in Eastern Idaho, Saint Anthony, Idaho is home for the world-famous Saint Anthony Sand Dunes which provide sport enthusiasts with camping, horseback riding and over 10,000 acres of dunes with elevations up to 400 feet. Saint Anthony (the largest city in Fremont County) and Fremont County, Idaho are just minutes away from Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

On the Treasuredstocks.com web site, I have the following Idaho based National Bank Notes (alphabetical order): Ashton; Blackfoot; Boise; Caldwell; Idaho Falls; Lewiston; Malad City; Nampa; Parma; Preston; Saint Anthony; Salmon; Shoshone; Twin Falls; Wallace; and Weiser

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.
