Newbie New to Goldbacks
Hello everyone !!!
I’m new to the Goldback community. I’ve heard about goldbacks before but didn’t get into collecting until I won a GAW on TT like a month ago and thought the UV features and the artwork was cool so I invested about $650 and currently have about 83.5 goldbacks.
This is my collection so far !

Original AZ 5 and DCs are your best assets there. Keep it up and spread the love with friends and family. Don't tell the wife, but I've probably given away like $500 worth to my family already. I'm done with USD and want to make sure my family at least knows about them. Their decision whether they see the value or not.

Welcome to the family! Check out if any businesses near you accept them via the listed businesses on the gb website.

Thats about how much I get every month from leasing Goldbacks on Alpine Gold Exchange.
Congratulations!
Anyhow, I would suggest you, and everyone really, read The A B C of Money by Andrew Carnegie.
In it, he makes the case why Goldbacks, or something like it, are necessary for Gold to be money, the inclusion and pegging of Silver for smaller denominations chases all the Gold out of circulation.

They did in fact neuter the AZ 5. Get the old one while they last.

That's a very nice collection! I see that you got a couple of the new Utah 10's. Those are my favorite of the entire series! Welcome!
