Customer Reviews

Easy, Basic Reference

OK, I collect coins and have very little interest in currency. That being said, questions always come up abut US currency and it never hurts to have another reference book. This is exactly what I needed. As with most reference books, the question is always "current edition (new,expensive) vs. older edition (cheap)." I seem to invariably lean to the older edition, and for this one, that's what I would definitely recommend.

currency book

much more detailed than other books I have bought. Well worth it if you collect small size currency.

Very informative

This edition was updated significantly since the last one came out. More serial numbers and star notes are listed. Still it need more listing and better explanations of grading/pricing for each series. Also the values seem high, although not as bad as previous edition.

No collector should ever be without this book. Well lets say any serious collector should never be without this book !!!

Paper Money details

This volume is even more complete in its listings than the previous editions. It has a better listing of modern uncut sheets, although quantities printed would be a much-needed addition. The book is clear, concise and valuable as a necessary element in the reference library of any collector of small-size notes.
