Paper Currency - numismatics, reference
This book provides comprehensive and useful information. The valuations cover different seals, mints, signatures, and star notes. The book also includes some information about the history of each note. It is easy to find information and lookup valuations. The only negative is the black & white photos make it a little harder to distinguish between different seal colors when looking up info. A Guide Book Of United States Paper Money: Complete Source for History, Grading, and Prices (Official Red Book) (Official Red Books)
This is a very nice book to have in anyone's private library. When I say this book has everything I really mean it. History, grading, pictures and pricing of each and every note ever printed in the United States. I use this book everyday for one thing or another. If your looking to add another reference book to your library or looking for a reference book that has everything then this is defintiely the book for you !!! Not only do I use this book to reference notes for their values but I enjoy sitting around reading the stories in this book about the different notes.
It's been many years since I've had this book. All of my expectations were satisfied. This book has been the "Bible" for US Paper money as long as I can remember. If you want to understand grading, pricing, or just want to learn about an important piece of American history, its worth the money.
The Official Red Book of United States Paper Money is just what the collector needs. Not complicated at all, but very simple to navigate through. Denominations listed in order and not spread all through the book. Can't help but find what you want with current prices and selecting proper grading is easy to.
Excellent book for anyone that wants to collect or does collect obsolete paper money.
As with any book that list market prices it is out of date by the time it hits the shelves but it does give the reader an idea on whether they can pursue collecting a particular note or whether it is out of their budget range. I take this to the coin shows when I go. - Reference - Numismatics - Paper Currency'
