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

Building on the comprehensive scope of the classic Friedberg text, Q. David Bowers has written a definitive history of paper currency of the United States. Every federal note–from the ultra rare Demand Notes of 1861 to the lunch money in your wallet today–is described in detail. Bowers’ engaging narrative captures the romance and history of American paper money, and also explores recent developments in the hobby and market. Combining the hobby-standard Friedberg numbering system with retail prices and hundreds of color and black-and-white photos, this book promises to be a standard reference for years to come.
