Laurens County, SC

Laurens is the county seat of Laurens County, a community whose history stretches back to the earliest era of European settlement in the South Carolina backcountry. The county was named for Henry Laurens, the Charleston-born merchant and statesman who served as President of the Continental Congress from 1777 to 1778 and was the only American held prisoner in the Tower of London during the Revolutionary War. Laurens was captured at sea in 1780 while traveling to the Netherlands to negotiate a treaty, and he was held in the Tower for more than a year before being exchanged for Lord Cornwallis. That connection to the founding era is not merely symbolic. The Battle of Musgrove Mill, fought in August 1780 just a few miles from the present-day county seat, was one of the most significant patriot victories of the Southern Campaign, and the surrounding countryside was the scene of repeated clashes between loyalist and patriot forces throughout the war. The town of Laurens was incorporated in 1845 and grew steadily through the nineteenth century as a market town serving the surrounding agricultural communities. The old Laurens National Bank and First National Bank of Laurens issued national bank notes that are now prized by collectors, and the families who built the county's commercial and professional class accumulated coins, gold, and silver that now surface regularly through estate sales. Presbyterian College, founded in 1880 by the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in the nearby town of Clinton, drew educated families to the region and created a community of collectors and accumulators whose estates are among the most interesting in the Piedmont.

The early twentieth century brought the textile era to Laurens County, and the relative prosperity of that period left behind generations of savers who accumulated pre-1933 gold coins, pre-1964 silver coins, and currency that now surfaces regularly through estate sales and inheritance. The textile communities of Gray Court, Fountain Inn, and the surrounding county were among the most productive in the state, and the families who worked and managed those operations accumulated wealth that expressed itself in coins, gold, and silver. The county's agricultural heritage, rooted in cotton and later diversified crops, also produced a planter and merchant class whose estates reflect the full sweep of American monetary history from the early republic through the mid-twentieth century.

Today Laurens County is experiencing steady growth along the I-385 corridor, with new residential and commercial development bringing younger families to a region that has long been anchored by its historic county seat. The old Laurens County families have begun settling their affairs at an accelerating pace, and the estates that surface through inheritance and estate sales reflect generations of accumulated wealth. The county courthouse square, with its well-preserved nineteenth-century commercial architecture, remains the civic heart of a community that takes its history seriously.

That layered history, from Revolutionary War battleground to cotton agriculture to textile prosperity to modern growth corridor, has left behind an extraordinary accumulation of coins, gold, silver, and currency in Laurens County estates. Pre-1933 gold coins, pre-1964 silver coinage, national bank notes from the old Laurens National Bank, and Confederate currency surface regularly through inheritance and estate sales.
