A good Continental/Colonial reference and source?

[the_Thing ®]

Is there a "standard" reference for Continental notes and anyone know a place to purchase it?

Eric Newman's "The Early Paper Money of America" has long been considered the standard colonial currency reference, and I'm sure you can find it on Amazon. Just be sure to buy the most recent edition.

While Newmans book is the best in the market for background and historical information on colonials, you may also want to look at

 

"Paper Money of the United States" by Arthur and Ira Friedberg. - 18th Edition - The Coin and Currency Institute. Well organized for pricing and they have the Fr. numbers for you.

 

I would not get the same title from Whitman - its an older edition and in paperback.

Those 2 books i think are essential for anyone collecting Colonials.
