1. Selling coins in Rockmart
We're based in Rockmart, Georgia. 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 Citizens National Bank of Rockmart
Rockmart once had money of its own. The Citizens National Bank of Rockmart, charter 8628, opened on May 1, 1907, and for ten years issued $10 and $20 notes printed with the town's name: first red seal notes of the Series of 1902, then the kind collectors call Date Backs. It closed in January 1917 and never issued the smaller notes that began in 1929.
Each note carries the signatures of the bank's president and cashier. Rockmart's presidents in those years were H. C. Allgood, R. W. Everett, R. R. Beasley and A. H. Graefer, and its cashiers included Buell Stark, D. H. Young and B. F. Harris.
The Smithsonian's National Numismatic Collection keeps proofs of both of the bank's printing plates, dated March 16, 1907. The town's second national bank, The Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Rockmart (1916 to 1931), never issued notes.
4. Slate, rail and the Rockmart Bank
Rockmart was incorporated in 1872 as Rock Market, named for the slate deposits nearby, and many of its buildings are made of slate and brick from local mines and brickyards.
The Rockmart Bank, a state bank opened in 1900, served the town until 1985. From 1947 to 1969 the Silver Comet, a passenger train between New York and Birmingham, stopped here on the line the Silver Comet Trail follows today.
If you have a note that says Rockmart, or coins that came down in a Rockmart family, send photos of both sides and we'll take a look.
