Message:: [QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 1575640, member: 27107"]Paper money collecting, in my opinion, has become specialized. Large size, Small size, Nationals (large & small), Obsoletes, Colonial, Fractional, Military payment, Errors, Fancy....just to name a few. All of these also have sub-groups to deal with. For an overall, complete illustrated catalog/guide I would recommend Q. David Bowers'  Whitman Encyclopedia of U.S. Paper Money. Here is the write-up about the book from Amazon;  From Award-Winning Author Q. David Bowers. Collect, grade, and attribute  your paper money. Organize your collection, with Friedberg and Whitman  numbering systems. Make wise purchases in today's market. 900 Pages;  more than 1,600 full-color images. Printing quantities for nearly all  issues - a guide to rarity. Dealer pricing for all federal notes, 1861  ot date, $1 to $10,000. History and values for Contintental Currency,  War of 1812 notes, Fractional Currency, encased postage stamps, star  notes, mules, error notes, and more. Auction data, market commentary,  more than thousands of prices and values, multiple grades, a  bibliography, extensive endnotes. Hardcover I mailed my copy to Mr.Bowers to have him autograph it.
