Springfield is the capital of Illinois and Sangamon county’s county seat. Its population is just over 117,000 people, and the metropolitan area has almost twice that many residents. Springfield is a notable historic location because Abraham Lincoln moved there in 1837 and lived and worked in Springfield for 24 years. The city faced an interesting political division with the surrounding area in the mid-19th century, with Lincoln’s own Whig party gaining and losing favor while surrounded by the Democratic party. Springfield has many historic locations related to both Lincoln and the Civil War.

Springfield is home to several coin shops and antique stores. Given the city’s history, Springfield would be a fitting backdrop for a search for historic coins, especially those from the 19th century. Let JM Bullion be your guide to finding the perfect gold and silver dealer in Springfield, Illinois.
