Just The Ticket

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.

A Guide Book Of United States Paper Money: Complete Source for History, Grading, and Prices (Officia

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.

A book every collector must have

This book has been so helpful in my collecting quests. I spent about an hour in Borders trying to find a book that gives values of modern as well as old currency for ranges up to Unc-63. It provides all the necessary information (such as signatures, series, quantity printed) for almost all bills and has a nice informative section as well. It gives price points that help you place a bid on valuable bills. This helps all collectors, experienced or not. I highly recommend this book.

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.
