"What's my note/coin worth," you ask ...

I want to sell/insure  my notes/coins but I don’t know the value. 
Can you help me?
(Please refer to my blog posts "what's it worth" and "why get a note officially graded" 
prior to considering selling your coin or note) 

For the most part, we will be able to help you sell your item, at a fair price. Please remember, however, that the purchaser may not be treasuredstocks.com
Importantly, when considering a fair price for your note, condition is everything and cannot be decided via long distance unless your note or coin has been officially graded (e.g. with PCGS, PMG).
Therefore, after we have expressed an interest, we will have our head grader examine every item. Consequently, we need to see the item in-person, face to face, prior to purchasing the item. Accordingly, we ask that you bring or send the coin/currency items to us. Recall that it can take great time and effort to do this correctly, using our extensive research such as years and years of auction data, and experience.

If you are planning to sell us your item(s), and we have indicated to you that we are interested, here is what we ask:
Call us [Jeff] first at 870-670-4255. 
Discuss with us your questions and plans. Do this first! 
Jeff will give you the correct address and location as well as valuable  "could my note really be worth the time and trouble” information. 

Basically, here are the steps to follow:
-         Create an itemized, careful list of item(s) you are sending. Include (as much as is possible) the note/coin title, valuation (such as “one dollar”) year of issue, location of issue (i.e. country/state/city), serial number, and anything else that seems significant. Double check this list for total accuracy and keep a copy of this list for your files.
   
-         Package the item(s) with the greatest possible care. Shipping carriers can be brutal to fragile items. Pack items securely, carefully, and in a way that absolutely protects them. Do not assume that a “DO NOT BEND” statement will be noted or heeded! For example, notes MUST be packed between very heavy cardboard, in plastic, to prevent folding or other types of mutilation/damage during shipping.

-         Be sure to include ALL contact information: your name, phone, address, email. The more information you can give to us, the better.

-         Send items with the appropriate amount of insurance, signature required and tracking number, for delivery 
   
-         Send us an email that includes the above information, including the itemized list, tracking number, shipping date, and carrier. 

Upon receipt of your item, treasuredstocks.com will do our best to expedite a value estimate. Within a reasonable amount of time, a fair price will be offered to you. If  we are unable to agree on price, we will return the item(s) to you. Return shipping and insurance charges are negotiable.

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.
