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. Gold, then springs
The town was incorporated as Springville in 1838, about ten years after gold was found in Georgia, and its first settlers came looking for gold. They found little in the mines at Lost Mountain and off Brownsville Road. What they found instead were seven mineral springs.
Some 26 minerals in the springs turned the sand black, like gunpowder, and in 1859 Springville became Powder Springs. Cobb County itself was made from the Cherokee land Georgia gave out in the 1832 land and gold lotteries.
On June 20, 1864, a skirmish at Lattermore's Mills here was part of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Today the Silver Comet Trail, on the old Seaboard Air Line rail line through southern Cobb County, has a trailhead here.
4. Bank notes and Powder Springs
Powder Springs never had a national bank of its own in the years when national banks printed notes with their town's name, 1863 to 1935.
Nearby in Cobb County, The First National Bank of Marietta, charter 3830, issued notes from 1887 into the 1930s. We buy National Bank Notes from any town, along with silver certificates, red seal notes and other older U.S. currency.
