Dkillett Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 10:30 am I have been a coin collector for many years. I have always looked at currency at shows and such, but never really thought about collecting. At the ANA show in Dallas earlier this month, the bug hit me big time. I purchased my first note. A 1928 Silver Certificate graded by PMG as AU 50 EPQ. Something about the note just looked interesting. So far I have purchased the newest edition of Paper Money of the United States (20th Edition). Being that I am not well versed in paper money, but am learning, I am only looking at certified notes as of right now. Once I learn more, that may change. Any advice that anyone has for a newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

CollectorKing Valued Member 262 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 11:54 am A must have book: The Comprehensive Catalog of U.S. Paper Money by Hessler and Chambliss. This book has everything but confederate and obsolete currency, but it is a must have, great book! Also the 10th edition Standard guide to Small Size U.S. Paper Money 1928-Date by Schwartz and Lindquist A Great book for the smaller US Notes If you are into confederates or obsoletes/southerns I can recommend some good books I use.

Dkillett Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 3:29 pm Is the 7th edition of The Comprehensive Catalog of U.S. Paper Money by Hessler and Chambliss the most current version or is there a newer one? Report this Post to the Staff
techwriter Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 4:26 pm Dkillett, if you're going to collect small size currency I highly Bob Azpiazu's book: Collector's Guide to Modern Federal Reserve Notes. You can order a copy from his website: http://www.fstctycurr.com/ to the fascinating world of currency collecting. Strap yourself in and enjoy the great adventures to come.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 4:54 pm I believe the 7th edition of H & C (2014) is indeed the most recent. CollectorKing's selections are spot-on. Report this Post to the Staff
