Here's why individuals across Maryland consistently choose American Rarities as their preferred coin buyer and precious metals dealer:
Maryland's history as an original colony, a key port, and a crucial border state during the Civil War, creates a uniquely rich and diverse numismatic landscape:
As one of the original thirteen colonies, Maryland saw the circulation of various forms of colonial currency (including notes from Maryland itself), British coinage, and early U.S. federal issues. Collectors in Maryland often discover coins and paper money from these foundational periods. If you have these specific early American rare coins to sell, we are expert buyers.
Maryland's position as a border state during the Civil War meant both Union and Confederate currencies likely circulated, often side-by-side. Additionally, "patriotic tokens" and "store cards" from this era might be found, offering unique insights into the period's economy.
During the National Banking Era (1863-1935), numerous banks across Maryland issued their own distinctive National Bank Notes. These notes, bearing the names of local Maryland towns and banks (e.g., "First National Bank of Baltimore" or "Farmers & Merchants National Bank of Frederick"), are now highly sought-after by paper money buyers and collectors for their historical significance and local appeal.
Baltimore's role as a major port on the Chesapeake Bay facilitated vast trade, bringing a diverse array of U.S. and foreign coinage into circulation throughout its port cities. The Chesapeake Bay and Maryland's Atlantic coast also hold the potential for fascinating shipwreck finds of historical coins and bullion, offering opportunities for shipwreck coin appraisal.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Maryland's industrial centers, particularly around Baltimore, may have issued their own tokens or scrip for local commerce, which are now collectible pieces of industrial history.
Maryland has a dedicated community of coin collectors and numerous local coin clubs that foster interest in numismatics and preserve the state's monetary history.
Baltimore, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Silver Spring, Columbia, Annapolis, Waldorf, Germantown, Ellicott City, and all other cities, towns, and coastal communities across Maryland.
