South Carolina's pivotal history as a foundational colony, a major port, and a central figure in the Civil War, creates an exceptionally rich and diverse numismatic landscape:
As one of the original thirteen colonies, South Carolina was a significant issuer of its own colonial paper money during the 18th century. These historically important notes are highly collectible and directly reflect South Carolina's early economic development and financial needs. If you have these specific early American rare coins or paper money to sell, we are expert buyers.
South Carolina's dramatic role as the first state to secede and the site of Fort Sumter means that Confederate currency (both government issues and notes from South Carolina banks) circulated extensively throughout the state. These notes are critical historical artifacts and highly sought-after by collectors. If you have Confederate money to sell, we are expert buyers.
During the National Banking Era (1863-1935), numerous banks across South Carolina issued their own distinctive National Bank Notes. These notes, bearing the names of local South Carolina towns and banks, are highly sought-after by paper money buyers and collectors for their historical significance and local appeal.
Charleston's long history as a major port city facilitated vast trade, bringing a diverse array of U.S. and foreign coinage into circulation. The extensive coastline also holds the potential for fascinating shipwreck finds of historical coins and bullion, offering opportunities for shipwreck coin appraisal.
Following the Revolutionary War, early U.S. federal coinage circulated throughout South Carolina's developing economy. If you are looking to sell old coins from this era, they may hold significant historical and numismatic value.
South Carolina boasts an active community of coin collectors and numerous local coin clubs that foster interest in numismatics and preserve the state's monetary history.
