Message:: [QUOTE="Joepepsi, post: 993291, member: 27229"]Hi. I already posted in the intro forum but I wanted to say hi in this forum as well.My main passion is colonial notes and fiscal paper. I also collect books from this period. I am always on the lookout for reference material. Currently I have Newman's "Early Paper Money", Anderson's "The Price of Liberty", Friedberg's "Paper Money of the US". One of my favorites is the 1839 printing of "An Historical Account of Massachusetts Currency". I do have books on colonial coinage but I haven't started collecting colonial coinage yet. I've also kept the Stacks Ford auction catalog along with other auction catalogs from Stacks, Ha and Early American History Auction. Anyway, I am a small collector on a budget so I look and study more than buy. For the most part I find this area of paper money to be the most affordable. This is something that I find most surprising. Two of my favorite notes are a 1775 Sword in Hand Revere note and a Feb 1776 John Hart New Jersey 30 shillings English raid note that is also an ex-Ford collection. The raid notes have only two out of the three signatures as it was stolen by the British before the third signatures. It is a PMG graded 58 note. I am looking forward to learning more from this forum.[/QUOTE]
