Selling coins in Cartersville, Georgia
Bartow County, Georgia
Sending photos doesn't commit you to sell
Who buys coins in Cartersville?
We do.
We buy coins and old paper money from sellers in Cartersville and across Bartow County. Send photos and we'll talk it over.
1. Selling coins from Cartersville
Cartersville is about 20 miles from us in Rockmart. Send photos here on our website or on Facebook. Your town is enough to start.
Sending photos doesn't commit you to sell, and you can turn down any offer. If it makes sense to go further, we'll arrange a time and place to see the items in person. Offers are made after inspection.
- We never ask you to ship items or pay anything up front.
- For estates and large collections, we can come to you.
We pay cash.
2. What we buy, and what to send
Coins, silver, gold and old paper money, from a single piece to a whole collection, including Morgan and Peace dollars, proof and mint sets, graded coins, silver certificates and National Bank Notes.
Send a clear photo of both sides of each coin or note, the label of anything in a grading holder, your town and a few words about what you have. Don't clean anything. Cleaning can't be undone.
3. Cartersville's banks and their notes
The First National Bank of Cartersville, charter 4012, was chartered in April 1889, with J. R. Wikle as its first president, and issued notes into the 1930s: Brown Backs of the Series of 1882, Date Backs and Plain Backs of the Series of 1902, and the smaller notes of the Series of 1929.
The Cartersville National Bank, charter 12635, opened in 1925 with James Jackson Hill as president and Charles Madison Milam as cashier, and issued Series of 1902 notes until it joined the First National in 1929. Milam went on to lead the First National as president.
Each note carries the signatures of the bank's president and cashier. If you have a note with Cartersville on it, look for those names.
4. Iron and the state's railroad
Bartow County was Cass County until 1861, and its seat moved to Cartersville in 1867. An iron belt fed the county's iron industry from the 1840s to the 1870s, and Cooper's Furnace still stands at Etowah.
Cartersville is on the Western and Atlantic, the railroad the State of Georgia created in 1836 and owned. Cass County itself was made from the Cherokee land Georgia gave out in the 1832 land and gold lotteries.
In Cartersville today, the Tellus Science Museum's Weinman Mineral Gallery shows gems, gold and Georgia minerals.
If old notes or coins came down in a Bartow County family, send photos of both sides and we'll take a look.
