Whitman Encyclopedia of Obsolete Paper Money

The Whitman Encyclopedia of Obsolete Paper Money is the new standard reference on currency issued by state-chartered American banks from 1782 to 1866. In volume 2 of the Whitman Encyclopedia of Obsolete Paper Money, Q. David Bowers, the “Dean of American Numismatics,” takes you on a guided tour of New England banks and notes from Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire. Inside you will find decades of research containing the history of every town and city, and every bank, that issued currency from the 1780s to the 1860s. It is a massive gathering of stories about our nation—a beautifully detailed landscape painting of America and its early money.
