"I reached out to American Rarities about some old Confederate notes and a few gold pieces from my family's collection in Macon. Their experts truly understood the history, especially with the Georgia connections. The appraisal was fair and transparent, and I was paid quickly. It was a completely trustworthy experience selling my items in Georgia."
Georgia's numismatic landscape is uniquely enriched by its early gold mining history and the presence of the Dahlonega Mint, as well as the significant private gold coinage of Christopher Bechtler:
Nestled in the heart of Georgia's first major gold rush region, the Dahlonega Mint was a crucial branch of the United States Mint. Operating for just over two decades, it exclusively produced gold coinage. Dahlonega Mint gold coins are exceptionally rare and highly prized by collectors due to their low mintage figures and unique history. If you possess any gold coins with a "D" mint mark from this period (dating between 1838 and 1861), they could be very valuable.
Gold Dollars (1849-1861), Quarter Eagles ($2.50 Gold) (1839-1859), Three-Dollar Gold Piece (1854 only), and Half Eagles ($5 Gold) (1838-1861).
Before the establishment of the Dahlonega Mint, a German immigrant named Christopher Bechtler, operating in North Carolina and Georgia, privately minted gold coins from locally sourced gold. These "Bechler gold" coins played a vital role in the regional economy due to a shortage of official U.S. coinage. Bechler produced coins in denominations of Gold Dollars ($1), Quarter Eagles ($2.50), and Half Eagles ($5). Bechler's coins are significant for their early role in American gold coinage and their direct connection to the gold mined in Georgia and North Carolina. They are highly collectible today, with their value depending on denomination, weight, fineness, and condition.
Georgia's pivotal role in the Confederacy led to the widespread use of Confederate paper money, issued by both the Confederate government and various Georgia banks. These notes, often featuring unique local imagery, are now important historical collectibles. If you have Confederate money to sell, we are expert buyers.
Banks across Georgia issued their own national banknotes during the National Banking Era (1863-1935), providing another collectible facet of the state's financial history. These notes are highly sought-after by paper money buyers for their historical significance and local appeal.
As an original colony, Georgia saw the circulation of early U.S. coinage. If you're looking to sell old coins from this era, they may hold significant historical and numismatic value.
The early 19th-century gold rush in northern Georgia predates the California rush and may have resulted in the accumulation of early U.S. and even some foreign gold coins in the region.
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Athens, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Warner Robins, Dahlonega, and all other cities and towns across Georgia.

American Rarities is actively seeking a diverse range of numismatic items and precious metals from residents throughout Georgia, with a particular focus on items that tell the story of the Peach State's rich history, from its early gold rushes to the Civil War era and beyond:
Whether you possess early copper cents with fascinating designs and historical significance, classic silver dollars that played a crucial role in America's growth, or modern commemorative coins and meticulously preserved proof sets celebrating national achievements, we are eager to evaluate your entire U.S. coin collection. If you want to sell old coins or get a coin appraisal, we can help.
We purchase all denominations of U.S. gold coinage, from early eagles, half eagles, and quarter eagles, prized for their historical importance and intrinsic gold content, to later, more widely collected series like the Liberty Head and Saint-Gaudens designs. Given Georgia's early gold mining history, we hold a particularly strong interest in any gold coins struck at the Dahlonega Mint (identified by the "D" mint mark and dated between 1838 and 1861), as these are exceptionally rare and valuable pieces of American numismatic history. We also value any early gold coins potentially linked to Georgia's gold rush regions. We are active gold coin buyers in Georgia and offer a competitive gold coin value.
As a significant part of the early gold history of the Georgia and North Carolina region, we are actively seeking Bechler gold coins minted privately before the widespread operation of federal branch mints. These early gold dollars, quarter eagles, and half eagles, often bearing unique markings and weights, represent a fascinating chapter in American coinage. Their rarity and historical significance make them highly collectible for collectible currency dealers.
Looking to sell silver dollars? We buy all types, including the iconic Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars, symbols of American expansion and peace, as well as earlier Trade Dollars that facilitated commerce with the Far East. We are interested in all conditions and varieties of silver dollars. These large silver coins hold historical significance and attract strong collector interest.
This encompasses Half Dollars, Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, and Cents. We pay close attention to coins with key dates, significant mint marks (including "P" for Philadelphia and "D" for Denver, major sources of coinage for Georgia), and any recognized varieties that can substantially increase their numismatic value.
Unique and often highly sought after by specialized coin collectors, error coins resulting from minting mistakes (such as off-center strikes, broadstrikes, and wrong metal planchets) and die varieties (minor but distinct differences caused by variations in the coin dies) can be surprisingly valuable. If you possess any unusual-looking rare coins, we encourage you to have them evaluated by our experts for a free coin appraisal.
As active paper money buyers in Georgia, we purchase all forms of U.S. currency, from early Treasury Notes and Demand Notes that financed the nation's beginnings to Civil War-era currency, including notes that circulated in Georgia, and later Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, and modern Federal Reserve Notes.
