Obsolete Paper Money, Issued by Banks in the U.S. 1782 - 1866

This book contains valuable information about obsolete money and the history of money from the 13 colonies. "It is my hope that after reading this book you will be well informed on the entire art and busines of designing, printing, and distributing bank notes during the period from 1782 - 1866. An attractive aspect of the study of paper money of this era is that there is so much to be discovered. Few obsolete bank notes have been studied for their subtle variations. Styles of lettering, alternations of vignettes, and other details await the curiosity-seeker; moreover, the histories of only a very few individual banks have ever been explored in detail, yielding many opportunities for anyone interested in delving into state and local history in connection with these banks." - Q. David Bowers
