1. Selling coins from Douglasville
Douglasville is about 30 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. Skint Chestnut and the railroad
Douglasville was first known as Skint Chestnut, for a chestnut tree used as an Indian marker, and was named for Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. Douglas County was created in 1870 from Campbell and Carroll counties, and Douglasville became its seat in 1875.
The first Georgia Pacific train reached the town in April 1882, and more than 2,000 people came to see it; the line between Atlanta and Birmingham was finished in November 1883. Its downtown, now a National Register historic district, grew as a railroad town's commercial district, sustained by local farming and the mills.
Elsewhere in the county, Union troops burned the town of New Manchester and its textile mills on July 9, 1864, and the ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company's factory still stand on Sweetwater Creek. Around 1900 the mineral waters at Lithia Springs drew wealthy visitors, until the resort hotel burned in 1912.
4. Douglasville's national bank
The town had one national bank before 1935, The First National Bank of Douglasville, charter 13227. It opened in August 1928 with J. R. Hutcheson as president and J. O. Sayer as cashier from 1929, but it never issued notes of its own.
We buy National Bank Notes from any town, along with silver certificates, red seal notes and other older U.S. currency.
Old bills turn up in drawers, wallets, family Bibles and coin collections. If some came down in a Douglas County family, send photos of both sides and we'll take a look.
