5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent basic currency reference., January 9, 2000

By	A currency lover (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Standard Catalog of United States Paper Money (17th ed) (Hardcover)

This work, along with Friedberg's book and Hessler's work, make up the three primary basic reference works on United States Currency. The Catalog contains an excellent reference section on National Bank Notes, receiving much more press than in Friedberg's work. The pricing, while out of date, is actually fairly realistic in today's market, unlike the Black Book or even Friedberg's book. A great plus is that this work is cross referenced by Friedberg Numbers, which are the standard cataloging numbers used by all dealers and collectors in the hobby. Well worth the investment!
