Timewise44 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 05/14/2016 10:58 am On Auction Postings what does the FR # stand for? I have been waiting for currency to get back from being graded. Supposedly it is in the mail. When I get them back I will post with pictures. This includes the $5 Star note that I inherited from my late Father. Since my first posting a few weeks ago, I have been studying 'sold' currency items on Heritage and ebay. I have about 5 types of large bills that I am trying to learn about. Even that is a big task for a newbie like myself. If I were to bid on an item, it would have to have been graded, as my lack of experience and knowledge would make any other bid, a wild guess at best. And as you all know a fool and his currency is soon separated. I also recognize that even though the grading process is not a guarantee, it is at least an idea of the relative quality/value of a given bill. Report this Post to the Staff

techwriter Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 05/14/2016 11:22 am Timewise, the FR# refers to the Friedberg catalog number. If you don't have one you REALLY need it. Check ebay for them or Abebooks or Amazon. Or from publisher: http://www.coin-currency.com/ == Edited by techwriter 05/14/2016 11:25 am Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 5:04 pm Be sure to get the 20th edition, which is the latest. The Friedbergs also have a less-expensive paperback volume titled "A Guidebook of United States Paper Money" which is also excellent - the latest edition is (as I recall) the 4th.
