1840 $1,000 Bank of the United States notes: Any note with the serial number 8894 is a replica that was made in the 1960's for a promotional giveaway in cereal boxes. These replicas are essentially worthless. These replicas are made from yellowish-brown "antiqued" paper that is crisp and brittle to the touch. The genuine $1,000 Bank of the United States notes are printed on thin banknote paper that was originally white or cream colored. One supposes that if a genuine note with the serial number 8894 ever were to show up that it is likely to cause quite a stir among dealers and collectors who have grown weary of answering questions regarding this particular replica.

Once the national bank system was established, privately issued bank money was declared to be illegal. Ever since US government money was issued it has retained monetary value. However, it is not the same case with the obsolete old bills from closed banks and this is the prime reason why these banknotes are worth finding. Actually private banknotes from the 1800s have remained an interesting item for collectors throughout the centuries.

The first rule is � no matter the coin � never use harsh abrasives like silver polish. Abrasives scrape the top layer off of whatever they are polishing, and in the case of a coin, that top layer contains all of its detail and hence its numismatic value. Polishing in this way will leave the surface of the coin covered with tiny pits and scratches, not exactly conducive to preserving the coin's value. If you clean the coin using an abrasive, you'll get a shiny coin, but it will not be a coin that collectors are interested in. To see for yourself, try it on a penny, especially one from before 1982 (when they were 95% copper). The coin will be shiny and clean, but if you compare it to a similar coin, you will see that it also looks unnatural. Shiny, yes, but it will not look like it looked naturally when it was minted. Collectors eschew coins that don't look natural.

A popular form of cherrypicking in coin collecting is done at coin shows, when the cherrypicker carefully scrutinizes dealer stock, looking for die varieties that the dealer has overlooked. A more low-end form of coin show cherrypicking is searching through the pick bins and junk boxes trying to find coins that are worth substantially more than the dealer asking price.
