I am a Numismatist that is more imterested in acquiring a Type set of coins and currency. That being said, for the example I want of each type I try to make it a Very Fine or better quality. But you have blown my mind with those gorgeous and rare works of art! Excellent video! Liked and Subscribed!
I recently got into collecting US coins and currency and came across your video after purchasing my first legal tender note. Let me just say, this was a phenomenal crash course in the basics, and I am astounded by your ability to explain things in a concise and articulate manner. You're an impressive guy with an equally impressive collection. I will add that I didn't get into numismatics to invest but for the history, and I personally don't consider coins and currency to be investments but more so a hobby that happens to hold or appreciate in value. Having said that, I very much appreciate you putting out this content. You are a true asset to the numismatics community.
I've collected U.S. Paper Currency for 11 years because of the artwork, but recently, I've been considering the investment route after seeing my best note increase in value quicker than expected. Currently, I own 32 Rainbow notes in a variety of grades. I call that hoard my "Nest Egg." It'll be interesting to see where the Rainbow series will be in 10 years.
I am the same. I collect coins, too, but I love the art involved in the early notes. They are outstanding. Can you imagine really utilizing them in daily transactions? All we do now in flip out plastic of some type
Wow. What a great crash course in currency collecting! I am just starting out with small silver certificates after collecting coins for a long time. Your way of explaining was great. I can't wait til i know more and can collect some of the better bills.
Dear Shawn: Thank you for sharing. I watch your channel because I love your insight and education on investing. I didn't know I would I think vintage paper notes would be so cool. When I graduate uni, have a job, and am financially established I will definitely be looking into paper currency. this is cool
Covered this in depth in numerous videos. That will not affect the market at all. I should do videos where I hold up antiques that my viewing audience probably doesn't even know what they are or what they do, and show you the investment returns over the years. Utility doesn't matter in antique collecting. That's a pop culture ideal and by that same logic, how many of today's kids are buying modern era comic books directly from newsstands?
I love seeing the items you collect. I’ve collected coins for 10 years and have went from cheaper basic coins under $10 to better collector coins $100-$500 range. I hope to be able to dip my toe into the “investment grade category once the kids are grown and out of the house.
It's absolutely insane to think that your set of rare notes that are over 100 years old are worth less than a rare card from a children's game printed on cheap cardboard 20 years ago
Great video and very informative! Given that this video is over 3 years old now and I don’t believe you’ve done a follow up to it, I would love to see what other info you can share with us. Where do you see the US paper currency market heading from an investment perspective. Do you think it will ever be as popular as coins and therefore increase the value faster due to higher demand?
Great video! Some awesome notes there. I think what you've neglected to mention is that investing in and collecting large size notes can be two very different things. I collect art and I collect large banknotes. I "collect" them because they bring me pleasure, not necessarily because I want to sell them for a profit. That being said I do believe there is still a market for ungraded large size notes as evidenced simply by the crazy bidding that might occur on an 1899 $2 Silver Certificate "mini porthole". For example, I picked one up in VF-XF condition not graded for under $500 and I'm thrilled to own it. I think what I'm trying to say is that people should collect what they enjoy owning and most importantly what they can afford. I really enjoy my large bill collection and will continue to collect with emphasis on the fact that the notes tell a wonderful story and bring me great satisfaction. Once again, excellent video, great content, I look forward to watching more of your videos! Be well, Mark in Portland, Oregon
Great Video. I can confirm your statements from the 13th minute onwards, after my coin collection is relatively large and I have sent in several hundred coins to NGC, I now have my eye on PMG, whose services I am allowed to use with my NGC subscribtion and I am slowly working my way through here. I am a German collector, but will probably also buy US banknotes.
Able to make a comment. I love this video! My favorite is same as yours, the $1 1896 Educational note. The artwork on it is stunning. The artwork on all of these notes is very stunning to look at. I dont think I will ever get into collecting these because of the high cost, but I always stop and look whenever I am at a convention. Even just to hold one in your hands is a memorable experience.
Thank you for the education on U.S. paper money. I'm related to Michael Hillegas on the $10 Gold certificate. I have a 1907 35EPQ and an uncertified 1922 in fair condition. After hearing your video I'm going to try to buy a 65EPQ. You're right if I'm going to get an attractive certificate, I should get the highest grade I can afford. Thanks again.
Great upload i never new grading bank notes was a thing I've been collecting old uk and Irish bank notes such as fenian bonds for years both AUNC and EF would it be worth grading uk notes or is it more common across the pond.
Hi Sean, Wow this video would have to be the best educational banknote video on youtube, I am a collector for 10 years, I also submit my best notes to PMG, everything you said in your video is so true, and well presented. I think you under estimated the value of the graded notes you were showing, also another thing to consider, because of technology and now Covid, the use of paper money is diminishing, therefore now and in the next decade is the time to collect and invest in paper money, future generations will look at paper money as antiques, making them more scarce and collectable. Sean, great video, I cant wait 6 months for world currency ! Please do more videos on paper currency, its a real growing hobby, I look on ebay almost everyday and notice prices going up, especially French colonial and QE2 British Colonial Currency, and you are correct about grading, as a collector PMG64 really is like Par in golf, everyone wants a birdie, the best collectors always strive to collect better than 64, and will pay more to get it. We really need more good content on youtube for banknote collecting, your vid was excellent, well done, Regards David
Hey Shawn, we need more content on International paper money investment, it’s a growing market, it’s huge, please tell your viewers how best to invest in this market !
Not always, it depends. In most cases, you should buy graded notes. Unless you are cleaning out great-grandpa’s attic, usually there is a reason they are not graded...
Ive got some cool uncirculated new $100 blue bills from when I worked at the bank an they first came out that are special numbers Ive been wanting to get graded.
I’ve been collecting coins, paper money, bullion and Disney dollars since I was 15. Years later I’m 20 and I still collect this stuff and get excited like a kid getting excited over McDonald’s. Those are beautiful bills. I plan on getting my first PMG graded currency this week. I might go with a $2 star note or a Disney dollar. How do I store these? I don’t have a safe but I store my other stuff in albums and in NGC boxes.
Generally, but that's not to say they're exceptions. If something is or will likely be pulled from the shelves, or if demand is going to far exceed supply.
@@Mitjitsu That's true, every shit that touch internet is overpriced, facebook, ebay or any online shit is overpriced, many people found locally great stuff for pennies, many are resellers trying to make a lot money online.
I'm currently 16 living in new jersey, minimum wage here is actually pretty high so I plan on collecting a lot of rare U.S currency. I've always been interested in money since I was young and can't wait to get started collecting. I think it is pretty fitting since I will be having a finance career. It would be funny telling people that my only interests involve money in one way or another. Since I would be holding the currency for a very very long time, probably never selling it would be nice to leave it to my future children.
I must be the worst collector/investor because I prefer a worn, nicely aged bill over a pristine one. All those “imperfections” are markers of the bill’s history and its passage through time. I find it fascinating to look at a bill and imagine how many times it changed hands with exact evidence of how it was folded and shoved into a wallet, saddlebag or coin pouch or to look at an oil stain and imagine some event that occurred a hundred years ago that caused it to be there. All I can imagine with a mint-condition bill is it running off the press and being locked in a safe until it’s discovered by some future generation that values the fact that it was never used.
Thanks for the useful video I have been trying to find out what will lose the ppq on a note and what they will forgive its hard to find that info in Australia .
@@ReservedInvestments i know it was kinda vague but silver gold certs. Believe some have a bison on them, maybe indian chef on others. Is authenticity an issue with these old bills similar to old baseball cards “my realm”
Thank you for the knowledge.I just got my first piece of graded currency. Not a high grade but still a cool note.the battle ship 2😎 IAM now going after my first graded gold certificate.
Wow you have an amazing collection. I've been into paper currency for the last 4-5 years and have a few PMG notes like a 1934 $500 bill graded 55. 1902 $5 Plain Back national Bank note that is Serial #2 in it's series grade 63 and a 1776 New Jersey Colonial note graded 64 with a comment of Good Embossing.
Very informative.. How much do you think those graded paper currency’s valued today at roughly $3,000 to $4,000 shown in this video would be worth in 10 years by 2030..?
Learning so much from you, greatly appreciated! Did you ever make that video on continental currency? I know you have an endless slate to get done 😂 have a great night my friend
I love money currency my favorite is the $5 educational note but it's so expensive to own =( I stick to collecting $2 dollar star notes. I noticed your $5 dollar 1869 rainbow note has a star on it, is that an error ? or they all come with that serial number. Nice collection super jealous right now lol,
I am considering it, but it would be many months away given what I have already in progress and planned. But yes, those videos are eventually coming...
Lol I’ve been doing coin collecting for awhile and I started watching videos abd reading books because I’m moving into paper currency because honestly it’s cool.
Large size notes were printed all the way up to 1929. The series year printed on the note was kept until the note design was changed which could be many years. Large size Federal Reserve notes were first printed in 1914 and that series date was kept until 1929.
Can you speculate on items you consider investment grade collectables in the 50-1000$ range. Or is their nothing in that area? Such as if one is investing traditionally, and want physical assets and particular collectables to throw say 10-30% of their investment money in and it's in that low dollar range what is the collectables sector to go into and gain more knowledge of investing in
This would be a good question for an upcoming Q & A, as there is no way I could answer it all here. So ask me again at that time, and I'll answer it on camera for you.
Would you be interested in or have a video in the works about coin collecting and knowing what coins are the best to get graded? my grandfather has a crazy awesome coin collection that I’m interested in getting graded for him. Thanks for your time. ❤️
I feel poor and inadequate after looking at your collection when comparing it to my paltry collection. Especially when you said the 1899 $1 Black Eagle is more or less Bargain Bin Material. I feel like I need to take out a second mortgage in order to get something that is investment grade. Someday I might be able put together an investment grade collection. That aside, nice video, good information.
You’re forgetting one thing…this is a collectibles finance channel that looks at collectibles as an investment. I’m confident your collection is just fine!
@@ReservedInvestments Alright, so, I broke down and started flipping out my lower grade items and started getting some higher graded items. Had to bottom feed on your lower rung of investment grades (63) for a starter kit on some of them. I couldn't get PPQ/EPQ in all items, but I got a couple. Here is what I got in what you deem investment grade (1) 1899 $1 Black Eagle PCGS 67 PPQ, (2) 1880 $1 Legal Tender 63 PPQ, (3) 1862 $1 Legal Tender, (4) 1902 $10 Natl. Bk. Note Red Seal PCGS 62, (5) 1902 $10 Natl. Bk. Note Date Back PMG 64, (6) 1907 $5 Legal Tender Pcblic Error PCGS 63 PPQ, and (7) 1918 $1 Fed. Res. Bk. Note 65 PPQ. There are some sets I am trying to put together in the Brown Back series and 1st Charter Series, but some are impossible to find in grades higher than 50, or have pinholes, faded, or small tears, yet still selling for thousands of dollars. I know you say investment grade is 63+, but what is your take on items where those high grades are non-existent?
Why does a video about currency collecting already have 6 thumbs down? Also, do you think ease of storage should be a consideration for collecting coins versus currency? Currency is beautiful, but it seems like it would be harder to preserve in good condition compared to coins if you're storing it in a safety deposit box.
I got my hands on the collection I’ve had in a box for about 8 to 10 years… it’s got all kinds of currency and I have no idea if I have something valuable
Many of the most interesting pieces simply don't come in such high grades, such as 1861 demand notes, 1875 national gold bank notes, and many others for which such ultra high grade notes either don't exist,or are in excess of $100,000.00
Awesome video. I've been watching all your new content and I'm currently working on my currency collection lately, so it was timely. I was lusting after those notes! I did have a few thoughts about this though. Your suggestion for buying CU65(ish) notes didn't explain the reasoning behind buying that grade. One of the things I consider when buying any collectible (even the old ones like coins and currency) is the amount of doubling time that went into making it's value. In addition, I also consider the Optimal Collecting Grade (OCG). Can you tackle these topics sometime?
Notes look awesome and that was a very good primer. Still I don’t want to own them. Now if an “influencer” can start buying seated dimes I’ll sell into that market.
Hey I love your content, I was wondering if you could post a list of books that are helpful for finance/stocks or something to get started with because I want to learn more!
Excellent beginner video on collecting large size notes. I agree with you that premium grades are always the best option however I myself enjoy a large amount of varieties and thus have to budget appropriately. I have posted a ton of videos on my large size notes and also small size and coins. Check it out sometime you may enjoy! Subbed

I Purchased a 1917 $1 Bill that graded by PMG Choice EPQ MS-64 . It is a Beautiful note that puts the new currency to shame.
The only issue is if we're using money in an entirely digital form. Will future generations covet to the same degree they do now?

I should do videos where I hold up antiques that my viewing audience probably doesn't even know what they are or what they do, and show you the investment returns over the years.

Such as if one is investing traditionally, and want physical assets and particular collectables to throw say 10-30% of their investment money in and it's in that low dollar range what is the collectables sector to go into and gain more knowledge of investing in
This would be a good question for an upcoming Q & A, as there is no way I could answer it all here. So ask me again at that time, and I'll answer it on camera for you.
I have some of these notes but they are in a lower grade and not graded but I still like to collect them.
Would you be interested in or have a video in the works about coin collecting and knowing what coins are the best to get graded? my grandfather has a crazy awesome coin collection that I’m interested in getting graded for him. Thanks for your time. ❤️
Did several videos on the basics of coin collecting already. Check them out.
I feel poor and inadequate after looking at your collection when comparing it to my paltry collection. Especially when you said the 1899 $1 Black Eagle is more or less Bargain Bin Material. I feel like I need to take out a second mortgage in order to get something that is investment grade. Someday I might be able put together an investment grade collection. That aside, nice video, good information.
You’re forgetting one thing…this is a collectibles finance channel that looks at collectibles as an investment. I’m confident your collection is just fine!
@@ReservedInvestments Alright, so, I broke down and started flipping out my lower grade items and started getting some higher graded items. Had to bottom feed on your lower rung of investment grades (63) for a starter kit on some of them. I couldn't get PPQ/EPQ in all items, but I got a couple. Here is what I got in what you deem investment grade (1) 1899 $1 Black Eagle PCGS 67 PPQ, (2) 1880 $1 Legal Tender 63 PPQ, (3) 1862 $1 Legal Tender, (4) 1902 $10 Natl. Bk. Note Red Seal PCGS 62, (5) 1902 $10 Natl. Bk. Note Date Back PMG 64, (6) 1907 $5 Legal Tender Pcblic Error PCGS 63 PPQ, and (7) 1918 $1 Fed. Res. Bk. Note 65 PPQ.
There are some sets I am trying to put together in the Brown Back series and 1st Charter Series, but some are impossible to find in grades higher than 50, or have pinholes, faded, or small tears, yet still selling for thousands of dollars. I know you say investment grade is 63+, but what is your take on items where those high grades are non-existent?
We also did not get to hear your evaluation on your 1922 ten dollar gold certificate.
How about a intro to STAR NOTES, not very common for the large notes but a circulated can be worth a lot of coinage.
Like the video
I will eventually be doing a follow up to this video. Thanks for your feedback.
Why does a video about currency collecting already have 6 thumbs down?
Also, do you think ease of storage should be a consideration for collecting coins versus currency? Currency is beautiful, but it seems like it would be harder to preserve in good condition compared to coins if you're storing it in a safety deposit box.
It’s actually easier to store. It lies flat.
What about NON US paper money? you can make more money on US stuff than other countries?
I got my hands on the collection I’ve had in a box for about 8 to 10 years… it’s got all kinds of currency and I have no idea if I have something valuable
Many of the most interesting pieces simply don't come in such high grades, such as 1861 demand notes, 1875 national gold bank notes, and many others for which such ultra high grade notes either don't exist,or are in excess of $100,000.00
Awesome video. I've been watching all your new content and I'm currently working on my currency collection lately, so it was timely. I was lusting after those notes! I did have a few thoughts about this though. Your suggestion for buying CU65(ish) notes didn't explain the reasoning behind buying that grade. One of the things I consider when buying any collectible (even the old ones like coins and currency) is the amount of doubling time that went into making it's value. In addition, I also consider the Optimal Collecting Grade (OCG). Can you tackle these topics sometime?
More videos on this will be coming in the future, so yes.
Important to NOTE: Very Punny.
I take the ten dollar1922 gold coin banknote to different bank. No bank can change a $10 gold coin for me.
Dude, it's 2023. No bank is trading notes for gold or vice versa.
Notes look awesome and that was a very good primer. Still I don’t want to own them. Now if an “influencer” can start buying seated dimes I’ll sell into that market.
take a shot every time he picks a note up.
Hey I love your content, I was wondering if you could post a list of books that are helpful for finance/stocks or something to get started with because I want to learn more!
Just answered this in a Q & A segment, BUT finance videos are coming soon...
Excellent beginner video on collecting large size notes. I agree with you that premium grades are always the best option however I myself enjoy a large amount of varieties and thus have to budget appropriately. I have posted a ton of videos on my large size notes and also small size and coins. Check it out sometime you may enjoy! Subbed
