Massachusetts stands at the forefront of American numismatic history, boasting connections to the very earliest forms of currency in the colonies and a legacy shaped by pivotal national events:
Massachusetts holds the distinction of being the first English colony to mint its own coinage. These exceedingly rare and valuable silver shillings, sixpences, and threepences include the famous Pine Tree, Oak Tree, and Willow Tree shillings. These early issues are among the most sought-after pieces in American numismatics and a direct link to Massachusetts's unique monetary sovereignty. If you have these specific early American rare coins to sell, we are expert buyers.
As a cradle of the American Revolution, Massachusetts saw extensive circulation of diverse colonial paper money (including notes issued by the Province of Massachusetts Bay), British coinage, 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.
During the National Banking Era (1863-1935), a vast number of banks across Massachusetts issued their own distinctive National Bank Notes. These notes, bearing the names of local Massachusetts towns and prominent financial institutions (e.g., "First National Bank of Boston" or "Springfield National Bank"), are now highly sought-after by paper money buyers and collectors for their historical significance and local appeal.
Massachusetts's deep maritime heritage, including its whaling and shipping industries, meant that foreign coins and currencies from international trade extensively circulated throughout its ports. The potential for fascinating shipwreck finds along its coast also adds intrigue, offering opportunities for shipwreck coin appraisal.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Massachusetts's thriving textile mills (e.g., Lowell) and other industries sometimes issued their own company-specific tokens or scrip for local commerce, which are now collectible pieces of industrial history.
Massachusetts boasts a large and active community of coin collectors and numerous local coin clubs that foster interest in numismatics and preserve the state's monetary history.
