When collecting quality rare coins and currency our attention may be drawn to Colonial paper currency. A few names come up in conversation about important documents signed by some men with signatures on these old notes…..The US Constitution and Declaration of Independence are two of the most important that we are taught about as school children. View our colonials. In stock are two of those signatures, John Hart and David Brearley. Hart, as a delegate from NJ to the Continental Congress signed the Declaration in 1776. Brearley represented NJ at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and signed it along with 38 others. PMG certified AU53 and AU53 PPQ. Excellent shape for paper some 250 years old.

Only 600 of these 1873 trimes were minted. The last year of the Three Cent Silver aka Trime. Only proof coins were minted and at that very low number. Also on hand are 1872, 960 proof coins minted and 1871, 960 proof coins made. 1871 and 1872 business strikes were minted at very low numbers as well, 3400 and 1000 respectively. Many of these survive due to the fact that proof coins are made for collectors. It is estimated that 500 of this 1873 survive in Proof 60 grade or higher and all would be in the hands of collectors or museums. This coin, certified by CACG PR64, has a dark yet pleasing tone with brighter area toward the center. View our trimes here.
