Selling coins in Cedartown, Georgia
Polk County, Georgia
Sending photos doesn't commit you to sell
Who buys coins in Cedartown?
We do.
We buy coins and old paper money from sellers in Cedartown and across Polk County. Send photos and we'll talk it over.
1. Selling coins from Cedartown
Cedartown is about 15 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. Cedartown's two note-issuing banks
The First National Bank of Cedartown, charter 4075, grew out of a private bank, Hardwick & Co., in 1889. Its notes, $10 and $20 Brown Backs of the Series of 1882, carry the signatures of its president, C. L. Hardwick, and its cashier, J. O. Hardwick. The bank was placed in receivership in 1893, after only four years.
The Liberty National Bank of Cedartown, charter 11833, was chartered in September 1920 and issued both the large notes of the Series of 1902 and the smaller notes of the Series of 1929.
Its charter outlasted the note era. The bank became The First National Bank of Polk County in 1972, with a branch in Rockmart, and later SouthCrest Bank.
4. Iron, cotton and Big Spring
Cedartown, the Polk County seat, was incorporated in 1854 near Big Spring, which once flowed 3 to 4.5 million gallons a day.
A New York ironworker, A. G. West, built a foundry near the spring before the railroad came, and a large land sale in the 1880s brought in mill owners such as Thomas Adamson, who founded the Cedartown Cotton Manufacturing Company. The downtown built from the 1870s to 1942 is on the National Register as the Cedartown Commercial Historic District.
If you have a note with Cedartown on it, or coins from a Cedartown family, send photos of both sides and we'll take a look.
