There Are Many Misconceptions About What Makes Paper Money Worth Collecting

What makes something collectible? For some items, it’s craftsmanship. For others, it’s age and condition. When it comes to collectible currency values, there are many misconceptions about what makes paper money worth collecting.

One factor in assessing value is the series, or year of printing. While this characteristic can be important, it can also be confusing. One of the best examples of this dilemma is the 1935 US silver certificate. This design was first printed in 1935, but it continued in print until 1956. This means that there were thousands of 1935 silver certificates printed for 21 years, and in circulation for many years beyond that, so it’s nearly impossible to tell a note’s age simply by looking at its series.

Instead of using only the series, experts look for the official Treasury signatures on the note. By determining when the people who signed a particular note were in office, an expert can tell the age of the currency more precisely.

Possibly influenced by antiques and archaeology, many people think that paper money is valuable simply because it’s old, but that’s not how collectible currency values work. Even a currency that’s 200 years old or more has little value if a lot of it was printed originally.

Another part of this misunderstanding is the idea that if something is both old and in “good condition”, its value is greater. Unfortunately, neither of these factors matters much to genuine collectors. Assessing the worth of paper money is quite a complicated procedure, and condition plays a much smaller role in this than most people think. Just because currency is readable doesn’t make it valuable. In fact, if it couldn’t be read, it would have not value at all, since collectors would have no way to determine its identity.

Classifying paper money is actually a complex process that relies on verifiable facts, not on vague judgments. Novices sometimes get miffed at veteran collectors who won’t accept their descriptions of currency as “un-circulated” or “mint condition”, but the experts are right to be skeptical of such fuzzy details. It’s far better to enumerate the facts of a note’s condition, such as creases, tears, holes and so on, because these give a more precise picture of the note’s survival rate. Paper money that’s properly stored in plastic sleeves, under temperature-controlled conditions, is much easier to evaluate for the most important quality of its worth: rarity.

Indeed, rarity is the thing that experts seek most in determining collectible currency values. Despite hopes otherwise, no piece of paper money is ever more valuable than it is on the day that it’s printed. If the annual printing of one-dollar bills shrinks from millions to hundreds, then the notes in that smaller printing may be rare enough to be valuable today. Saving those short-printed dollars for years won’t make them any more valuable.

Dirty Money $7.97 Five years passed between 1996′s Ridin’ Dirty and 2001′s Dirty Money, and in rap, that is an eternity. Rap tastes can easily change from one year to the next, which is why a lot of talented MCs have watched their popularity fade after only two or three albums. At any rate, Dirty Money has no problem picking up where Ridin’ Dirty left off; UGK’s lyrics are as decadent as ever. In the ’90s, the Texas duo epitomized the Dirty South school of rap, and this 2001 release indicates that Pimp C and his partner aren’t about to tone down their off-color approach; UGK’s music is still a totally unapologetic celebration of promiscuous sex, marijuana, money, and jewelry. In other words, it is exactly the type of album that critics of hardcore rap love to hate. None of the lyrics on Dirty Money are groundbreaking — the album’s subject matter has been covered time and time again by West Coast gangsta rappers and G-funksters as well as UGK’s Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana colleagues in the Dirty South arena. But while UGK’s themes were never innovative, the Texans have usually had interesting ways of getting their points across, and that holds true on Dirty Money. The Texans still have clever ways of delivering their sex/money/jewelry/drugs mantra. Another thing that makes the CD memorable is the production; UGK’s sleek, keyboard-driven tracks are, for the most part, as interesting as their Texas-fried rapping style. Dirty Money falls short of superb, but those who aren’t offended by explicit lyrics will find it to be an enjoyable, entertaining slice of Dirty South rap that is good for some cheap thrills. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

Thug Money $15.18 Being a product of the streets, a person can often count the number of people they trust on one hand.

Between the two of them, Yuk and Bo have released over 30 albums and sold over 10 million records worldwide. Consistency has been king for both Yukmouth and C Bo individually but with Thug Money, the Thug Lordz plan to solidify their reign.

Bill Collector The $10.02 Rated: NASynopsis: Uncle Frankie (Danny Trejo) is not the kind of guy you want to meet in a dark alley. Especially when you owe him money and have been giving him the slip for a few years. Such is the fate of Lorenzo Adams (Gary Moore), a top bill collector at Lump Sum Collections. Uncle Frankie has tracked Lorenzo to Norfolk, Virginia and is coming to collect. With his back to the wall, Lorenzo finds no one to help but Pastor Kevin (Ron Kenoly) and desperate down-and-outers from an inner city mission, who serve as unwitting pawns in Lorenzo’s scam to pay Frankie back. Lots of laughs, gaffes, twists and turns later, Lorenzo discovers unexpected grace when it’s time to pay his due.

1827 In The United Kingdom $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Shrigley abduction was a British case of an attempted forced marriage of young heiress Ellen Turner to later colonial politician Edward Gibbon Wakefield. Ellen Turner was the daughter and only child of William Turner, a wealthy resident of Pott Shrigley, Cheshire, England, who owned calico printing and spinning mills. At the time of the abduction, Turner was a High Sheriff of Cheshire. He lived in Shrigley Hall, near Macclesfield. Ellen was then fifteen years old and a most eligible heiress. In February of 1827 she attracted the interest of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, who began to conspire with his brother William Wakefield to get his hands on her inheritance. Edward Wakefield was 31 years old; he had been a King’s Messenger (diplomatic courier) as a teen-ager, and later became a diplomat. At the age of twenty he eloped to Scotland with a 17-year-old heiress, Eliza Pattle. Her parents accepted the marriage and settled £70,000 on the young couple. However, Eliza died four years later after giving birth to her third child in 1820. Edward had political ambitions and wanted more money. He tried to break his father-in-law’s will and was suspected of perjury and forgery. He apparently based his plan to marry Ellen on the expectation that her parents would respond as Eliza’s had. On 7 March 1827, Wakefield sent his servant Edward Thevenot with a carriage to Liverpool, where Ellen was a pupil at a boarding school. Thevenot presented a message to the Misses Daulby, the mistresses of the school. (The Misses Daulby were the daughters of Daniel Daulby, a well-known Liverpool collector and author of The Collected Works of Rembrandt (1796).) The message stated that William Turner had become paralyzed and wished to see his daughter immediately. The Misses … More:

A Collector’s Journey: Charles Lang Freer and Egypt $7.5 Charles Lang Freer (1854-1919) made his money as a railroad-car manufacturer. A discerning collector, he assembled one of the finest collections of Asian Art at the turn of the nineteenth century and during three trips to Egypt, between 1906 and 1909, he developed a passion for Egyptian art. He gave his collections to the United States, plus funds for a building to house them and in 1923, the Freer Gallery of Art was opened as the first Smithsonian Museum for Fine Art.Drawing on a wealth of unpublished letters, diaries and other sources, A Collector’s Journey documents Freer’s experience in Egypt and discusses the place Egyptian art occupied in his collection’s aims. From jewel-like ancient glass vessels to sacred amulets with supposed magical properties to impressive stone guardian falcons and more, the Freer Egyptian collection is diverse, beautiful and important.

A Use of Riches $1.99 Art is very much part of Rupert Craine’s life. He is a banker and country squire, but also a connoisseur and collector of art. His beautiful and wealthy wife, Jill, is the widow of John Arnander, an artist of genius killed in Italy in World War II. The Craines live happily on a comfortable country estate with Jill’s twelve- and eleven-year-old sons by Arnander and their own two young children. As Jill remarks, an almost Edwardian order reigns in the household. “Of course,” she says, “none of it may last.” That afternoon she has received a cable from an old acquaintance, an Italian marchesa. It seems that Arnander fathered an illegitimate son whom the archesa has been looking after. She can no longer do so and wants Jill to come and arrange the boy’s future. The Crains hasten to Italy, Rupert going along to the preliminary interview with the marchesa, as he is suspicous that there may not really be an Arnander child, that this is a ruse to extract money. The truth revealed to him by the marchesa is shattering, and the quintessentially civilized Craines find themselves plunged into an increasingly bizarre drama.

All’s Well That Ends $15.81 Barring the usual teenage pranks, all seems peaceful at Philly Prep, the private school in Philadelphia where Amanda Pepper teaches English. No doubt the money that appears to be missing from funds collected to aid victims of a catastrophic hurricane Down South will turn up. Probably the rumor that some of Amanda’s students have discovered the thrills of gambling is totally unfounded. In any case, Amanda has other things to think about. Her husband, private investigator C. K. MacKenzie, is struggling to help his Louisiana kinfolk reconstruct their post-hurricane lives. Her friend Sasha’s stepmother has just committed suicide-although, according to Sasha, Phoebe Ennis would never have killed herself, especially not while having a drink and wearing a red silk blouse and red sandals with four-inch heels. Amanda isn’t persuaded but reluctantly agrees to help investigate the woman’s demise, though the evidence for foul play is slim. True, the middle-aged compulsive collector of knickknacks wasn’t universally loved. Phoebe’s own son hated her and she bored her friends to death with hints of her royal lineage. And with four marriages behind her, she was already preparing to announce her renewed availability on the Net. But when another woman is found dead in Phoebe’s house, it becomes clear that something is indeed murderously amiss, and much closer to home than Amanda or anyone else could have imagined. All’s Well That Ends is the final novel in Gillian Roberts’s acclaimed Amanda Pepper series. It’s also the best, irresistibly intelligent, and richly entertaining. Amanda’s farewell adventure brings the genius of the Dorothy Parker of mystery writers (Nancy Pickard) into fullflower, and the bloom is sweet and a wonder to behold.
