IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.

From the end of the 18th century until the Civil War approximately all of the paper money in the United States of America was issued by private banks. There were thousands of them. It was a very confusing situation. You had to bring the note to the bank that issued it to get "real" money, which was coins. Sometimes that bank was nowhere to be found. Notes of this period are also called "broken bank notes" after the habit of many of those banks to go bust.
