Customer Reviews

An invaluable reference for ANY collector

As a beginning collector, I didn't really know very much about this subject, and the book helped me immensly. I highly recommend this book both for novice collectors like me, and for those lucky individuals who have been doing it for years. An excellent source!

ESSENTIAL FOR DEALERS AND SERIOUS COLLECTORS

There are three volumes to this catalogue, and this one covers modern issues, including those currently in use worldwide. All three are essential to dealers, as well as serious collectors. They are probably too pricey for the casual collector. This volume would be the first reccomended to a starting collector, as the notes here are largely within the reach of beginners. Volumes I and II, earlier and specialized issues are revised every two or three years. The modern issues Volume III, reviewed here is issued and updated annually, as there are many new issues each year and prices have been quite volatile of late. Mostly this has been caused by increased interest in the hobby, and the fact that when an issue is changed, there are a limited number of notes in excellent condition left in private hands, particularly in higher denominations. This is not stamp collecting, where issues are made with collectors in mind.

Over 11,000 notes in a comprehensive reference

Colin R. Bruce II and Neil Shafer's Standard Catalog Of World Paper Money Volumw 3 appears in its 7th edition to present the current values for modern issues from 1961-2001.

A must for every paper money collector.

Every paper money collector must have this book, whether a novice or old hat. This book is one of the three reference books every serious collector and dealer must have. Note: all dealers and paper money organizations reference these numbers as "P-" also known as Pick #'s.

A WONDERFUL CATALOG, FOR BEGINNERS & ADVANCED COLLECTORS

I strongly recomend this catalog for every collector of banknotes. All the countries are represented. A job well done!
