TheWatcher Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I come from the comic side and completely new to collecting currency of any kind. As such, I'm looking for guides to help me get my feet wet and understand the various issues, variants, value, etc. Looking on Amazon I came across a few and would like input as to which members would recommend: Confederate States Paper Money: Civil War Currency from the South by Arlie R. Slabaugh (Dec 9, 2008) Guide Book of Southern States Currency (The Official Red Book) by Hugh Shull (Dec 19, 2006) Collecting Confederate Paper Money - Field Edition 2008 by Pierre Fricke and Jennifer Meers (Jun 27, 2008) A Guide Book of Counterfeit Confederate Currency by George B. Tremmel (2007) (I assume a reference on counterfeit notes is a given to any new collector) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
