Numismatists world-wide are preserving history!

CURRENCY COLLECTIONS ARE “IN”

Investors turning to historical currency and certificates during uncertain economic times

As investors become increasingly concerned about economic uncertainty, they are turning to currency dealers like Treasured Stocks.com to help them invest in historical coins and currency.  They are increasingly aware of the huge value in creating currency collections.

Numismatists world-wide are finding both joy and financial reward while building coin and paper money collections. They seek out qualified, knowledgeable, and trustworthy currency dealers. 

“I’m finding more and more of my customers are calling me and asking me how they can start investing in currency collections,” explained Jeff Smith, Company President and CEO. “I spend hours on the phone educating new and even experienced enthusiasts as to the best currency and coin investments to make.” Smith also relates that some customers have had trouble finding reputable sources for their questions and purchases. 

“These coins and notes are living treasures,” reports Smith. “I look at these notes and see not only the financial impact they made but the political and social environments surrounding them.” Smith's favorite notes have been those with true historical significance. Among his treasures are a number of US-Based bank notes – the only ones known to exist in the world.

Understanding the history of each item is an important value consideration. So too is its condition. “One fold on a piece of currency will likely drop its value in half. Building collections is also important,” Smith continued. “Investors may be willing to bid higher for an item they need to complete a collection, as well as one that is extremely rare.”

Having won the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) “Best Military Certificates” award (consecutive, for the past 8 years), Smith knows a great deal about building coin and currency collections. A military veteran of the US Navy, Smith’s “US Military Payment Certificates are some of most artistic pieces of currency ever printed. A set such as this is the epitome for the true military collector. This entire set is remarkable and an impressive accomplishment,” wrote the Set Registry Managers from PCGS.

 

Smith agrees that one great way to learn about history and military conflicts is through currency and certificates.  However, before making any purchase, he recommends learning everything you can about the dealer as well as the coin or collection you want. That’s where expert staff at Treasuredstocks.com come in. “We want our customers to admire the beauty and history of the note, as much as the value. We are in the business of honoring and preserving that history" 

Besides the enjoyment of preserving history, hundreds of numismatists believe their financial investments in coins and currency are secure, even during economic confusion.

Collecting PROOF notes -- fun and profit!

Those perfect "PROOF" Notes .... 

There may be millions of pieces printed of regular currency; in contrast, perhaps only one or two PROOFS are printed -- making "PROOF" notes exceedingly rare and valuable.

Please notice that the "p" following proof note Pick numbers (P#:) refers to the "Proof" status of this special note.  

But what exactly is a "proof" note, you may ask. A proof banknote is one that is printed to test the engraved printing plates to see if the plates are appropriate and at least adequate (or not) for putting that currency item into full production.

Proudly, Treasuredstocks.com has excellent examples of PROOF Currency notes -- US and Foreign.  Call us at 870-670-4255 or email jeff@treasuredstocks.com  for help and support, as you venture into Currency Note Set collection.

How do I start a coin or currency

collection? 

Collectors of coin and currency items do so for many reasons. One of the most common collector is the hobbyist 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.  

Disney Dollars are highly collectable and increasingly rare!

An ever-more 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 most certainly 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.
