Colonial Note Collections -- How and Why

Building Set Collections of Colonial Notes -- GREAT Plan, EXCELLENT  Value!

One of the most exciting and totally intuitive ways to launch a currency collection set is to “begin” with the beginning of our great nation. So many new collectors are deciding to build a personal and 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 still able to “acquire” and put together a collection of notes from all 13 of the original colonies, for less money than you might think.

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, PLUS the rare and sought after Continental Currency,  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. For example, treasuredstocks.com has obtained a few currency items from the "Midnight Ride" collection!

Collections with all 13 colonies are then passed down from generation to generation, as family heirlooms and outstanding investments.

But affordable prices will NOT last! Hoards of new currency collectors (including collectors from countries outside of the US)  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.

IS THIS A COUNTERFEIT NOTE?

Is this note 'legit' he asked?

We  have just received a message from an interested buyer for one of my graded currency notes. Here is his question:

"I am very interested in purchasing this note. I am worried, though, that the note may be counterfeit. A friend of mine just spent a lot of money on a counterfeit note and got burned. How can I be sure this note is legit?"

Here is my reply:

Thank you so much for your interest in this beautiful and extremely rare note.

Your query is an excellent one. Probably the most important reason to have a coin or note graded is for the simple reason of the thousands of counterfeit copies. 

Thus, it is ALWAYS risky to purchase any ungraded currency item! That is why we, with just a few rare exceptions, only sell GRADED notes. Please notice that this note ABOVE has been authenticated [graded] by the PMG [PAPER MONEY GRADING] grading organization. PMG is the world leader in grading/authenticating world paper money. I recommend going to their web site (just do a google search for PMG grading) to learn more about this industry leader. 

Please also notice the official and unique PMG certificate number that has been assigned to this note (located on the back of the grading banner and written into the item's description section). Again, PMG has placed their “mark” and their reputation on the authenticity of this note. As quoted from their web site information, “PMG will not grade notes that are counterfeit, are of questionable authenticity or have been altered.”

That is why you can be certain that this note we are selling is authentic – because PMG has placed its official stamp of approval upon the note. Having a note graded is a costly, lengthy process but well worth it for both buyers and sellers. Importantly, the note’s value (for both buyer and seller) is increased through this grading process.
