Richmond County, GA

Augusta is one of the oldest cities in Georgia, founded in 1736 by James Oglethorpe as a trading post on the Savannah River. Richmond County was formed in 1777, making it one of the original counties of Georgia, and Augusta served as the state capital from 1786 to 1795, a period during which the city was the center of Georgia's political and commercial life. The coins that circulated in Augusta during those early decades, Bust dollars, early gold pieces, and the Spanish milled dollars that remained legal tender well into the 19th century, still surface in Richmond County estate sales today. Augusta's position as a major trading center on the Savannah River meant that hard money from across the Atlantic seaboard passed through the city, and the Augusta National Bank and other early financial institutions issued national bank notes that are now actively sought by currency specialists.

The Augusta Canal, completed in 1845, powered a network of textile mills that transformed Augusta into one of the South's leading industrial cities in the antebellum era. The mill families who built Augusta's industrial economy accumulated wealth in the form of pre-1933 gold coins and pre-1964 silver coins that were passed down through generations and now surface in Richmond County estate collections. The Augusta Chronicle, one of the oldest continuously published newspapers in the South, documented the city's commercial and financial history through the Civil War era, the Reconstruction period, and the prosperous decades of the early 20th century. Confederate currency and obsolete banknotes issued by Georgia state banks circulated widely in Augusta during the Civil War, and these notes are now collected by currency specialists who pay strong premiums for fine examples.

The Augusta National Golf Club, established in 1933 and home of the Masters Tournament since 1934, brought national and international attention to Augusta and attracted wealthy patrons whose estates now represent some of the most significant numismatic collections in the Southeast. The Masters Tournament has drawn collectors, investors, and affluent visitors to Augusta every April for nearly a century, and the city's reputation as a destination for the wealthy has shaped the character of its estate collections. Fort Gordon, established in 1917 and now home to the Army Cyber Command, brought successive generations of military families to Richmond County, and military families are among the most consistent accumulators of coins and currency from the regions where they served.

Today, Augusta and Richmond County are known throughout the Southeast for the Masters Tournament, the Medical College of Georgia, and the Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon. Richmond County estate collections reflect that layered history: early Bust and Seated Liberty silver from the colonial and antebellum eras, national bank notes from the Augusta National Bank and other Richmond County institutions, pre-1933 gold coins accumulated during the prosperous 1920s, and pre-1964 silver coins saved through the textile and military eras.
