Confederate Currency

At the height of one of the most turbulent times in American history, The Confederacy began printing Confederate currency. Most of the Confederate currency was used to purchase goods from England to aid in their war effort against the United States. Much of what was left of the printed Confederate Currency was used in merchant transactions in the South as well as for purchasing war bonds and other investments in the fledgling so called “Republic of the South” so that they could gain some solvency in their international relations. Confederate currency played an important role in the Southern states for the few short years of their independence from the Union.

Once reunification took place after the Civil War’s end, the Confederate currency became obsolete, putting an end to the legal tender status of Confederate currency and marking the beginning of the collectible status of the Confederate currency notes. Confederate currency has enjoyed a fairy regular demand on the open numismatic markets for many decades.

Unfortunately, with the demand for Confederate currency also comes the unscrupulous counterfeiting and reprinting of the Confederate currency notes. To the properly trained numismatist, these Confederate currency notes are easily detectable. Gauging the paper quality and the cut of the Confederate currency notes are key factors in making these kinds of determinations.

Generally, unless they are rare variations of the Confederate currency notes, the authentic notes can be worth as much as third of their face value or more on the collectible markets. This, of course, is assuming they are in a well preserved condition. Confederate currency notes that are tattered or torn can be worth significantly less. In addition, the higher denomination Confederate currency notes will carry more of a premium simply because they are in a slightly higher demand. When selling your Confederate currency notes, you’ll want to be at ease knowing you’re dealing the the most respected and best trained staff in Las Vegas. That staff belongs to Nevada Coin & Jewelry.

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Building had great security to helped me feel safe in handling my items.

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.

We were really pleased with the help that AJ gave us concering our gold coins and watches. I don’t think we could have received a better deal anywhere. All of the personnel at Nevada Coin & Jewelry were very professional. We will recommend them to our friends.

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!
