Check out my other items!   Extra information from a professional numismatist about the Atlantic Collection:                                         Quote from letter by President and CEO of Goldline International about the Atlantic Collection Notes, October 23, 2002: "For a long time we could not identify this opportunity because of a confidentiality agreement that Goldline had signed.  Now, I can reveal it, but only to Goldline's very best clients.  Please maintain the confidentialality of this collection until it has been revealed to the public via the media. Goldline has aquired the Atlantic Collection of United States Large Size paper money dated in the late 1800's.  The Atlantic Collection was brought to Goldline because the former owner was confident it would recieve the care and attention it deserves. In my 23 years as a professional numismatist, I have never seen an opportunity this special.  This is a rare collection of historical importance.  Here is a little background information to help you appreciate its significance. The United States government did not start issuing circulating paper currency until 1862 during the financial emergency of the Civil War.  After the war, both paper money and gold coins were in circulation. These early notes are even rarer than coins of the same period.  Why?  In the late 1800's, Americans usually saved gold coins when given the choice of coins or paper money.  The vast majority of these coins were in used, or 'circulated', condition.  Only a tiny number of uncirculated coins were saved, which is why they are so valuable. The same is true for paper money issued during the late 1800's~only to a much greater extent. Here is why:    1.  Paper money was generally not saved because it is not intrinsically valuable.  Given the choice of saving either a  $10 gold coin containing nearly a half-ounce of gold or a $10 paper bill...Which would you choose?    2.  Saving $10 in the late 1800's was difficult.  In 1880, an average person earned only $1 a day and every penny was needed to support the family.  A single $10 bill was a lot of money to save at that time.    3.  The government constantly withdrew the older currency and burned it.  This process accelerated when the government reduced the size of our nation's currency in 1929.  This ongoing destruction by the government, when added to the small number of notes saved in the late 1800's turned some of our currency into extreme rarities. Only a miniscule number of $10 notes survived from that era, usually in circulated condition.  Uncirculated notes of this era are rarely found and never in quantity, even a small quantity~until now!  Some U.S. paper currency issues are so rare in fact that fewer than 100 pieces survived.  The rarity of these notes is a key factor in their potential profitability~which I believe may be considerable. Many uncirculated Large Size notes from the late 1800's are so rare, that few collectors, dealers, investors, or museums have ever seen or owned even one... When I say "Large Size", I mean the larger-sized currency used by our grandparents and great-grandparents before 1929.  It was 1-1/4 inches longer and 5/8 inches wider than today's paper money.  Compare today's currency with a note from the 1880's series. When the story of these notes reaches the collecting community, I expect a major frenzy of interest.  It should start with articles in important collector and general publications and spread rapidly into the investment community.  We both know that widespread interest generates demand and often causes price increases.  I believe that collectors, investors, and even dealers will want to acquire these notes for their personal collections.  This could be the only opportunity to acquire these notes during one's lifetime. However, only Goldline's best clients can own these historic notes.  Many of our clints have already responded in order to secure them for their private collections and family investment holdings... I wish we had enough notes for all our best clients.  Unfortunately, we do not have enough sets for each of you to have even one..." Sincerely, GOLDLINE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
