<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1091436, member: 22729"]After admiring the beauty and history of currency for as long as I've been collecting coins... nearly forever ...

Actually what pushed me "over the edge" from just being a spectator to making the decision to collect was the passionate collectors on C/T. I've always had a small collection of notes, pieces I've picked up over the years from different places. I have a few fractionals, some obsoletes, Cobfederate notes and some small and large U.S., but I never had a goal, it was just an "accumulation." Now, thanks to you guys, I've decided to get serious about persuing a series.</p><p>I've narrowed my choices down to two areas, obsoletes and fractionals. I've been studying up on paper money in general and have a couple of references I've been reading to get a feel for it. There's also a few sites on the internet I've found that are helpful, but I don't have a reference book on obsoletes. Could someone recommend a few good sources of information for me? Is there a "Red Book" for this area of collecting? Any advice or guidance would be most appreciated. Again, thanks for pushing me "over the edge." I'll post some pics of what I have now when I get a chance.</p><p> </p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
