<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2001628, member: 32619"]This might seem a little redundant, but I'm kind of new to bills too (jeeze...my collecting interests are getting spread), and this is what I'm doing: reading. I bought two references for U.S. Military Payment Certificates (MPCs) and familiarized myself with the series before I bought my first note. I still only have 3 - I wanted to start my collection by snatching up the easy ones to come by in high grade that don't cost a lot of money. I'm also interested in Confederate currency. I have since bought two books - one serves as an introduction to Confederate currency (the "Hows and Whys of the series) and the other is a comprehensive guide to the series. I have not bought a note yet because I don't think I know enough to determine if the prospective note is worthy to be in my collection. I'm taking it slow. If I was interested in error notes, I think I would find a good reference and go from there. No harm in looking at notes from the bank or in circulation though! Anything you find is at face value so nothing lost![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
