Happy New Year from Coin World!

• Paper money small change during Civil War
• When to sell your collection
• Looking back to 1975's gold rush
• Supersize your paper money collecting
• The devil hiding in the queen's hair

A new year means new opportunities to re-evaluate your collection. This month we ask when is the right time to sell coins in your collection. We also explore how paper money served as small change during the Civil War, and look at the modern gold rush that accompanied the legalization of private gold ownership as reported in Coin World in 1975.

From the archive we look at a fun piece of numismatic fiction by Coin World's news editor William T. Gibbs, while from Coin World's Paper Money Values, Michele Orzano, editor, offers the chance to supersize your collecting with large-size U.S. paper money.
