1775 was a VERY good year for America!!

Why collect 1775 Colonial Currency? 

Our early American history -- from a political, social, and certainly economical perspective -- is fascinating. Fortunately, for all currency enthusiasts, this history is exemplified in the first American currency, lovingly referred to as colonial currency. Colonial currency provided financial incentives and means to build America and win the Revolutionary War. 

So many of my colleagues and clients are aggressively collecting Colonial Currency notes dated 1776. This is totally understandable as most of us believe the real birth of our nation took place during that year. Certainly, we are all aware that the US Congress proclaimed the Declaration of Independence – Independence from Great Britain – on July 4^th, 1776.

But what about 1775? Significantly, the first year of the American Revolutionary War was 1775 during which the second Continental Congress acted as a war government and created the US Army (June 14), Navy (October 27), and Marines (November 10). All Americans owe their freedoms to these institutions – institutions established in 1775! 

And what else happened during that critically essential year? Here are just a few of the most significant 

historical events of 1775: 

[ March 23, 1775] Patrick Henry loudly declares, “Give me liberty or give me death” during a speech he made asking for Virginian troops to join the revolutionary war. 

[April 18, 1775] Paul Revere and William Dawes made their famous midnight ride from Charleston to Lexington, warning that the British “regulars” were coming. 

 The shot that was “heard around the world” was fired on April 19, 1775,  the day the American Revolution began and a day later, the British took siege of Boston.

On May 10^th George Washington was named supreme commander. Just 14 days later, John Hancock was elected Continental Congress President

June 14 1775 saw the founding of our US Army Navy and on June 17, the Battle of Bunker Hill (Breed’s Hill) began. 

July 17^th saw the establishment of the first American military hospital and on July 26^th, Ben Franklin founded the United States Post Office. 

On December 3^rd, the first official US flag (Grand Union Flag) was raised aboard the Naval ship USS Alfred. By December 22, the “American” Continental Navy had seven ships. 

Notes produced during the Revolutionary War have seen great interest, with the idea that those notes display powerful patriotic symbolism and may have been placed in the pockets of patriot soldiers as they took arms against the British. So why not collect notes from the first and most important year – 1775? 

Now is the time to invest in colonial currency; affordable prices will NOT last! Large numbers of new currency collectors are reaching retirement age and are “in droves” contributing to higher demand and higher prices.

A Healthy, Peaceful Veteran's Day to All

America’s Original Currency, 
a tribute to all Americans past and present! 

World War I ended on 11 November 1918 – Veteran's Day and in honor of another GREAT war, the Revolutionary War, all Americans cherish America’s Original Currency.

Our early American history -- from a political, social, and certainly economical perspective -- is fascinating. Fortunately, for all currency enthusiasts, this history is exemplified in the first American currency, lovingly referred to as colonial currency. Colonial currency provided financial incentives and means to build America and win the Revolutionary War. Certainly, colonial currency helped supply our Continental Army and feed and clothe early colonists. 

Colonial Currency notes are unique works of art and demonstrate incredible sophistication in counterfeit prevention, multi-color production techniques, engravings, woodcuts, logos, and political insignias and slogans. From Maryland to Georgia, these diverse currency items were expertly crafted by local artisans, engravers, and printers. Looking at each note, you will touch this history, feel the strength and determination of these early patriots, and wonder at the skill and splendor each note demonstrates. 

Colonial notes are rare, sought-after, desirable but, surprisingly, well within reach of most collectors. Market values placed on these notes are based on condition, demand, and rarity; the original value of the notes is far less significant. For example, regardless of denomination, notes produced by Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere will have greater value due to greater interest and demand. Additionally, notes produced during the Revolutionary War have seen greater interest, with the idea that those notes display powerful patriotic symbolism and may have been placed in the pockets of patriot soldiers as they took arms against the British. 

Colonial currency collectors build collection sets in a number of ways. One common method is to collect a note from each of the original 13 colonies. Similarly, many collectors choose a “favorite” colony and collect samples of each of the emissions and/or denominations. Fortunately, internationally recognized grading services such as PCGS and PMG are now verifying and grading Colonial money. Thus, graded notes carry greater value and notes with higher grades command exceptional prices. 

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. Collections with all 13 colonies are then passed down from generation-to-generation, as family heirlooms, pride in our country, and outstanding investments.
Therefore, now is the time to invest in colonial currency; affordable prices will NOT last! Large numbers of new currency collectors are reaching retirement age and are “in droves” contributing to higher demand and higher prices.

Colonial Currency Collections -a GREAT Investment!!

Why Collecting Colonial Currency Notes 

is such a GREAT idea!

 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.
