<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1441980, member: 22004&quot;]NGCs Mark Salzburg said the following in an interview with Maurice Rosen, available on the NGC site:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>MR: What other coins should investors know more about?</b></p><p>&nbsp;MS: Now that you have me thinking, I’ll reveal a potentially amazing&nbsp; growth area to you: Colonial Currency. These notes helped finance the&nbsp; Revolutionary War.&nbsp; Their historical importance is tremendous. This area&nbsp; is clearly undervalued, one that if properly presented to new&nbsp; collectors or investors could embark them on a serious road buying these&nbsp; fascinating numismatic antiques. Unfortunately there are only a handful&nbsp; of dealers in this area now.</p><p>&nbsp;Here’s an interesting story. I was talking to a manager of a&nbsp; multi-billion dollar hedge fund. He asked me, “What do you think I&nbsp; should buy?” I tell him to buy Colonial Currency and give him my&nbsp; reasons. He asks me how much they cost. I tell him from $100 or so to&nbsp; several thousand dollars each. He asks me how he can pick up $5-10&nbsp; million worth of them. Clearly, I had no helpful answer for him but it’s&nbsp; an insight to the potential of this area and so many others in&nbsp; numismatics.</p><p><a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259&amp;" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259&amp;" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259&amp;</a></p><p><br /></p><p>How realistic is this area for investment purposes?</p><p><br /></p><p>I stopped at a dealer&#039;s shop today and he showed me a number of notes of Colonial and Continental currency, some were graded MS (by him).&nbsp; How would you handle a deal with nice notes from various states so as not to get &quot;burned&quot;?&nbsp; Is this truly a good investment area?&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
