Selling coins in Marietta, Georgia
Cobb County, Georgia
Sending photos doesn't commit you to sell
Who buys coins in Marietta?
We do.
We buy coins and old paper money from sellers in Marietta and across Cobb County. Send photos and we'll talk it over.
1. Selling coins from Marietta
Marietta is about 35 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. The First National Bank of Marietta
Marietta's notes came from The First National Bank of Marietta, charter 3830. Chartered in December 1887, it issued notes into the 1930s: Brown Backs of the Series of 1882, Series of 1902 notes with red seals and later blue ones, and the smaller notes of the Series of 1929.
Each note carries the signatures of the bank's president and cashier. At the First National that meant R. W. Boone, president from 1888 to 1906, and later J. E. Massey, president from 1910 to 1935.
The town's two Citizens National Banks, of 1922 to 1924 and 1930 to 1933, never issued notes; the second was taken into the First National in 1933.
4. The mill called the Confederate Mint
Marietta, chartered in 1834, grew on the Western and Atlantic, the state's railroad. On Sope Creek nearby, the Marietta Paper Mill began production in 1855 and was the largest paper mill in Georgia by the Civil War, when it made cartridge paper.
The mill was nicknamed the Confederate Mint, from a rumor that it printed Confederate money and bonds. The National Park Service says those claims have never been substantiated. Union troops burned it in July 1864; it was rebuilt and ran until 1902, and its ruins are in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
A note that says Marietta, or coins from a Cobb County family? Send photos of both sides. Please leave notes as they are. Don't flatten, press, wash or tape them.
