At Gold Vault in George we buy almost all old coins & old SA bank notes! Come and see what we can offer you.
Here are a few interesting facts about gold coins and old bank notes:
1. Most old coins and their value factors are in direct correlation with their grade or condition. A coin grade is perhaps the top determining factor for its value. Circulated pieces, in poorer physical shape due to considerable use wear, are valued much less compared to non-circulated ones.
2. Coin’s rarity is another determining factor of its value. Generally, there are two types of coin rarities, namely, mintage and grade. Mintage rarities are determined by the actual quantities in which certain coins were produced. The lower the mintage, the higher the ratio of old coins and their value. Grade rarity, on the other hand, is a very volatile concept and is assessed only within a certain time frame and is based on numismatic market grade market demands.
3. Demand is a true driving force for old coins and their value determination. Research a number of online auctions to see what your types of lots are selling for and whether there is a true demand for them. Sometimes it pays to wait and try looking up your coins’ value some other time in hopes that they might eventually increase in price.
4. Interestingly, a coin’s age is not a value determining factor. There have been instances when old German gold coins or old British coins were sold for the mere market price of gold due to abundance of similar pieces on the market.
5.Banknotes with character: the rare Grand Watermelon
One of the rarest and most sought-after pieces of American paper money, the Grand Watermelon $1,000 banknote from the 1890s sold at auction in 2018 for a record-breaking $2.04 million. Only seven such notes are known to exist, three in private collections. Despite its playful name – which refers to the design of the zeros on the note – the Grand Watermelon has become a world famous icon of American finance history.
6.The world’s smallest: the 10-bani note
Romania’s 10-bani coin is one of the currencies that features an eagle, this time wearing a crown. But back in 1917, the 10-bani note that was produced as part of a war series by the country’s Ministry of Finance is the smallest banknote ever to be produced in the world. Measuring a miniature 44 mm by 33 mm, the green banknote featured King Ferdinand I on the front and the coat of arms of Romania on the back. Underneath the coat of arms was printed text threatening counterfeiters with five to 10 years in prison.
7.What happens to old bank notes?
Notes are usually destroyed because they are of poor quality, or because they are no longer legal tender. They are pulped, compressed into bricks and sent to an official government incinerator where they are burned alongside any illegal tobacco that has been seized by HM Revenue & Customs
What is the world’s oldest currency?
The British pound is the world’s oldest currency still in use – it’s 1,200 years old. Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, the pound has gone through many changes before evolving into the currency we recognise today.
