Coins Paper Money

Buying Rare Paper Money was one of the best investments I ever made. I highly endorse it.
Tom Denly a respected member of this hobby identified 7 main areas of collecting interest in a issue of Bank Note Reporter.

A very common type of world paper collection is to collect notes from “every country”. The definition of every country can vary greatly, but this type of collection is relatively inexpensive.

One thing to keep in mind is that the quality of books on paper money is very high and they play a major role for collectors. Lots of people have dedicated their lives to researching and compiling information on paper money. It just makes sense to utilize and build on what they’ve already done.

1) large-size US type notes
2) US national bank notes (issued by local banks chartered by the US)
3) US fractional currency (notes from the 1800s of less than 1 dollar)
4) pre-US colonial currency
5a) US obsolete notes (from private banks of the 1880s)
5b) Confederate States of America notes
6) small-size US type notes (the size we’re familiar with now)
7a) recent and general world paper money
7b) older and rare world paper money
error notes, including printing, paper and cutting errors
9) Souvenir Cards

2004-D Wisconsin State Quarter (With an Extra Leaf)

Variety of experts disagree about the cause and long-term value of this coin, but I’ve included here because it is very findable in pocket change and worth hundreds of dollars right now.

What To Look For: There is a defect on the die that makes it appear as if there’s an extra leaf on the lower left-hand side of the ear of corn on the reverse. The leaf is very clear. Known in two varieties, the High Leaf and the Low Leaf type.

Approximate Value: $200-$300 in MS-60 or so.

1969-S Lincoln Cent With a Doubled Die Obverse
This coin is quite rare. The early specimens of this coin were confiscated by the Secret Service until the U.S. Mint admitted they were genuine. Counterfeits abound, but usually have the wrong mint mark.

What to look for: Look for clear doubling of the entire front (obverse)(”heads” side) except for the mint mark. If the mint mark is doubled, it is probably a case of strike doubling, rather than a doubled die, which isn’t worth much. (Mint marks were punched in the dies separately in 1969, after the doubled die itself had already been made.)

Approximate Value: Around $35,000 or more in EF-40 or so.
