Historical Currency Display Appraisal

The 100 Year Collection Coin and Currency Display

This item is a framed display featuring a collection of U.S. coins and a banknote, all presented within a dark wooden frame with a burgundy velveteen-lined interior. The display holds a total of fifteen silver-colored coins and one U.S. dollar bill. The coins are arranged in three rows, with five coins in each row. Most of the visible coins appear to be U.S. silver dollars, specifically 'Morgan' and 'Peace' dollars, identifiable by the distinctive profiles of Lady Liberty on the obverse. Some coins are also smaller in size, possibly indicating other U.S. denominations such as half dollars or quarters, also in silver. Each coin is encapsulated in a clear plastic holder, protecting it from direct handling and environmental damage. The single U.S. dollar bill is centrally placed above the third row of coins, also encased in a clear protective sleeve. Though difficult to discern its exact denomination or series, it appears to be an older, silver certificate or 'funny back' dollar bill due to its greenish hue and classic design. A small, rectangular brass-colored plaque is positioned below the banknote, bearing the inscription 'The 100 Year Collection' and possibly other text that is obscured. The overall condition of the collection appears good, with the protective casings suggesting an emphasis on preservation. No significant damage or wear is visible on the frame or the items themselves, though some light reflections make it challenging to assess the precise condition of the currency and coins. This collection likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century, compiling older numismatic items.
