New Hampshire Numismatic Connections

New Hampshire’s deep history as a colonial powerhouse and a key player in early American industry creates a fascinating numismatic landscape:

  • New Hampshire Colonial Currency (1709-1780s):

    New Hampshire was one of the colonies that issued its own paper money. These notes, spanning various series like “Old Tenor,” “New Tenor,” and “Lawful Money,” were crucial for the colonial economy and are now highly collectible. Examples like the 1776 New Hampshire copper pattern coins are exceedingly rare and historically significant. If you have these unique early American rare coins to sell, we are expert buyers.

  • Early American Coinage Circulation:

    As one of the original thirteen colonies and a vital part of early New England, New Hampshire saw extensive circulation of British coinage, Spanish dollars, and early U.S. federal issues. Discoveries of these historic pieces are of great interest to collectors and can be quite valuable for their historical significance and rarity.

  • National Bank Notes of New Hampshire:

    During the National Banking Era (1863-1935), numerous banks across New Hampshire issued their own distinctive National Bank Notes. These notes, bearing the names of local New Hampshire towns and banks (e.g., “The First National Bank of Nashua” or “Mechanicks National Bank of Concord”), are now highly sought-after by paper money buyers and collectors for their historical significance and local appeal.

  • Industrial Tokens & Scrip:

    New Hampshire’s early industrial development, particularly in textile mills and logging, sometimes led to the issuance of company-specific tokens or scrip for local commerce. These unique pieces of industrial history are collectible.

  • Minor Gold Discoveries:

    While not a major gold state, New Hampshire had brief periods of minor gold mining activity in the 19th century, particularly in areas like Lyman and Bath. This could lead to the discovery of small placer gold specimens.

  • Local Coin Clubs and Collectors:

    New Hampshire has an active community of coin collectors and numerous local coin clubs that foster interest in numismatics and preserve the state’s monetary history.
